WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official in Florida pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal child pornography charges, officials said.
The Justice Department said Anthony Mangione, 50, of Parkland, Fla., was arrested Tuesday by FBI agents and detectives from the Broward County Sheriff's Office. He was arraigned Wednesday in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Mangione was the regional chief of ICE in South Florida, until his suspension in April after four images of child pornography were allegedly found on his computer, The Miami Herald said.
A Justice Department statement said Mangione pleaded not guilty to child pornography offenses on the Internet, including transporting and receiving "visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct."
