and not involving any children. 5:34 darcy on gopro: the ultimate goal in cases like this is what? 5:36 sgt. m.: well, we always like--like to see some type of outcome to where some type of sentence is imposed. either jail time--always jail time. skelton cut a plea deal, putting him behind bars for two years. then, he'll have to register as a sex offender. 7:31 gopro d: safe to say that ccsd police takes this type of incident--masturbatin g on school property--very seriously? 7:37 sgt. m: absolutely. we take all incidents seriously. any type of incident that could impact our children, our staff, our visitors of the school district, we want to make sure--like i said--they're safe when they come to our property. though maciszak says the skelton case is unique... 8:35 gopro darcy: our research suggests that this might not be an isolated incident. we asked maciszak to flash back to when he was a detective stationed at garside middle school. 8:43 darcy: this was a case that our research tells us

internal affairs investigation and masturbation at garside and pornography. 9:08 sgt. m: you're speaking of a personnel issue and i'm not comfortable speaking with that. it's something the ccsd police department has kept secret... until now. listen to this audio recording contact 13 obtained from a 2012 school police internal affairs investigation. 10:01 ia investigator courtney purcell/bureau of professional standards: a couple of years before that, while det. maciszak was working adult education at garside, art sturdivant, who used to be one of our officers but now works for henderson police, walked into the police office at garside and caught maciszak masturbating while watching pornography on his work computer. mike thomas: that's what art sturdivant told me, yes. darcy stand-up: i spoke to officer sturdivant, who told me about that day. he said he tried to use his key to get into the police office here at garside, but the chain lock on the inside blocked him from opening the door all the way. he saw maciszak jump back, bend over to cover himself and run into the back office. maciszak's belt was lying on the desk and there was asian pornography on the computer screen. 13:57 ia audio: the tech over at garside had constantly--it

knowledge--had constantly--that computer was always crashed. it had so much pornography on it that they had to constantly go in there and fix the problem. when we asked the district about the incident, they sent a written statement, which says, "concerns were brought forward, which were investigated administratively. appropriate action was taken." but in two cases, which both involved masturbating on school property, custodian michael skelton was arrested, charged and sent to prison. because no one blew the whistle on mitch maciszak, his case wasn't even investigated for years. that investigation started on the very day maciszak was promoted to sergeant. the outcome, our sources say? a letter of reprimand in a personnel file. 9:55 gopro darcy: as far as i know, this was a reprimand in the file and no criminal charges... 9:56 cam turns to captain ken
