Former Vancouver police officer faces child pornography charges

Canadian Press – June 20, 2006

VANCOUVER (CP) – A former police officer who once ran the department’s school-liaison program faces child pornography charges.

John Dragani has been charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography. Dragani, who was a sergeant, was suspended without pay last year until he retired.

Vancouver Constable Tim Fanning says Crown counsel approved the charges after an aggressive police investigation.

Fanning says the allegations were embarrassing, but it’s also an opportunity to show when criminal conduct is alleged against an officer they take it seriously.

Dragani was arrested Monday at his Vancouver home and will face the charges in Surrey provincial court.
