Jeremy Francis Plonski, 30, pleaded guilty to federal charges of producing and distributing child sex abuse images in early October. FBI agents identified Plonski as the man seen sexually assaulting a baby in videos–a baby the Assistant U.S. Attorney said was between ages 1 and 2 at the time. Plonski was wearing his state trooper uniform and sidearm in some of the videos.

“The conduct alleged in this case is horrifying and a gross betrayal of public trust,” said Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. of FBI Minneapolis. “Law enforcement officers are sworn to protect the most vulnerable among us — not exploit them. When someone in a position of authority commits such an egregious and despicable crime, the damage extends beyond the victim — it shakes the very foundation of our communities’ trust. The FBI and our partners will not hesitate to investigate and bring to justice anyone who preys on children, no matter their badge or title.”

The MPR article notes that two other Minnesota-based law enforcement officers were also charged federally with similar crimes this year. Former Customs and Border Protection officer Anthony John Crowley, 52, pleaded guilty to possessing child sex abuse images. Homeland Security agent Timothy Ryan Gregg, 52, was arrested and charged with exploiting a 17-year-old and producing videos of the abuse.
It’s hard to keep up with these defendants–state trooper, Homeland Security agent, Customs and Border Protection agents, pastors, YOUTH pastors, other clergy, school teachers, coaches, pardoned January 6ers. I missed this freak Plonski when the story ran in October.
I post it today, not only as a reminder of how sick and how prevalent these crimes are and that they are not all committed by more obvious lowlife freaks in society like Bob Moore or Arch Sloan. I post it as a reminder, the next time you read about a sex crime and feel inclined to dismiss it as the victim making up stories, you can recall that Plonski pleaded guilty to his crimes. They happened and we would have never known had he not videotaped his depravity so he could relive it and share it with others.
I also post it because Plonski was a Minnesota State Trooper when he committed these crimes. For some reason he thought it was a good idea to wear his uniform and gun while sexually assaulting a baby on film. Leaving aside the obvious question of can’t the state police weed out guys like this in their hiring process–don’t they all love the polygraph machine?–this guy reminded me of what a survivor of the Michigan child sex rings told me a few years ago.
Forgive me if I’ve already written about these parts of what was a four-hour conversation. Someone had asked online why so much of the child sex ring horror in Michigan was also tied to Northern Michigan, including the Ess Lake area, N. Fox Island and places in the Upper Peninsula. This survivor had communicated with me online a number of times, and we spoke live. He answered every question I had. He also told me things, try as I might, I will never forget as long as I live. There is no prison or place in Hell that could adequately punish what these men did to boys and girls.
Why up north? Well, for starters, freaks could fly in their private jets and soon be at places where if a kid ran outside to scream or escape, no one would hear them and there was no one nearby to help.
But here’s the bigger point for today. The survivor remembered a state trooper, and I believe this was in the U.P. or very close. He was the “heat.” He would show up in full uniform, complete with that dorky hat, and of course a gun. His job was to scare the living daylights out of any trafficked kid or victim who was resisting or showing signs of talking about these crimes. I asked if he thought this trooper was capable of killing a kid. He didn’t miss a beat: Absolutely.
