NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Former North Miami Beach Deputy City Manager accused of possessing child pornography appeared in court Thursday.
According to police, David Scott, uploaded more than 30 images and videos of child pornography online and attempted to purchase an additional 6,000 videos and photos.
“Good morning Mr. Scott, you were arrested for 15 counts of pornography charges. Can you afford to hire an attorney, sir?” said Judge Mindy S. Glazer.
“I was just informed that I was terminated so probably no,” said Scott in court.
City officials said he’s been fired from his position. He had been serving in that position since 2023.
Before being in that position, he was the Director of Public Works for North Miami Beach.
Scott faces 15 charges of possessing child pornography.
The now-former public servant could face many years behind bars, if convicted.
His bond was set at $18,000. He was also placed on house arrest and ordered to stay away from children.
