A court officer assigned to Brooklyn Criminal Court has been charged with possession of cocaine and child pornography. The charges against Thomas Sotiridy, 60, stem from two separate incidents.
In September, Mr. Sotiridy allegedly engaged in a two-hour, sexual online chat with a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. Then, on Tuesday, he allegedly attempted to purchase 3 1/2 grams of cocaine from another undercover officer. Following the latter incident, investigators executed a search warrant on his Bay Ridge home and discovered “hundreds” of images of girls as young as 6 engaging in sexual acts with adults.
