Ex-New York City Councilman Dan Halloran, who previously served time for his involvement in a bribery scandal, has been taken into custody for having hundreds of videos depicting child sexual abuse.

According to the New York Post, Halloran, aged 54, was apprehended at Miami International Airport on Saturday following his flight from Cuba. A criminal complaint revealed he had 1,362 videos stored on his iPhone, with approximately 35 featuring “prepubescent” girls.

Authorities discovered a text conversation on Halloran’s phone indicating he purchased child pornography in various categories—regular, premium, VIP, and special—priced between $50 and $500, as outlined in the complaint.

After his arrest, Halloran allegedly claimed that two-thirds to three-quarters of the videos in a hidden folder were child pornography.

In 2014, Halloran was convicted of bribing New York political leaders and embezzlement, receiving a 10-year sentence; he served half due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He also served on the New York City Council from 2010 to 2013.

The Miami Herald reports that Halloran is being held at Miami’s Federal Detention Center on charges of possession and transportation of child pornography.
