MIAMI (AP) – A retired Miami police officer has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child pornography.

Senior U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King on Thursday also ordered 57-year-old Juan Roman to register as a sex offender and serve lifetime probation if he is released from prison.

Roman was charged in August 2014 after investigators with a search warrant found numerous depictions of child pornography on Roman’s laptop computer and hard drives.

According to court documents, Roman produced some of the videos himself including secretly videotaping girls in his bathroom and fondling a six-year-old girl in his kitchen.

Roman retired in 2010 after more than 30 years with the Miami Police Department, mostly on road patrol.
