SEPTA Officer From Bucks Co. Shared Child Porn Images: Feds

WARMINSTER, PA —A SEPTA Transit Police Department officer from Bucks County has been placed on leave pending termination following his arrest last week for distributing child pornography images.

Brian Zenszer, 43, of Warminster, was arrested last Wednesday by the FBI on allegations of distributing child pornography, according to court documents filed on Nov. 5 in Philadelphia.

“SEPTA is fully cooperating with the FBI on their investigation," SEPTA said in a statement given to Patch Monday afternoon. "The allegations are disturbing, and we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and urgency.

SEPTA Spokesman John Golden said the agency does not believe there are any allegations of criminal behavior linked to Zenszer's work for the SEPTA Transit Police Department.

He said that Zenzer has been placed on leave pending termination.

Patch has reached out to the FBI for comment about the investigation.

NBC10 Philadelphia reported that court documents indicate that the FBI began the investigation after receiving a tip in September.

KYW NewsRadio said that the FBI investigation claimed that Zenszer shared "several videos and images" of suspected child pornography on the messaging platform, Kik.

Zenszer was expected to be in court Tuesday for a hearing on the charges, the news outlet reported.
