## Official Statement

[Nimau was arrested in 2020 on federal charges of possessing child porn.](https://sanmateocountynews.com/category/redwood-city-police-officer-shawn-nimau/) He pleaded guilty in 2022 and was sentenced to two years in prison. His criminal attorney, Paul DeMeester, told KTVU on Monday that Nimau's decertification resulted solely from his client's conviction, but otherwise he was a "great cop." Nimau was victimized himself as a child, DeMeester said, which led him to child pornography on his personal time.
