An investigation was launched into the officer when a complaint was filed on Jan. 6 for invasive visual recordings. But police said before anyone would ask him any questions, he took his life.

ABC13 learned a veteran Pasadena police officer, who took his own life in a church parking lot, found out he was under investigation for invasive visual recording that same morning.

According to Pearland police, someone filed a complaint against 46-year-old Kerry Heiserman on Jan. 6.

Heiserman was an officer with the Pasadena Police Department for 21 years. The reason Pearland police were investigating is because the accusation occurred in their jurisdiction.

The case was assigned to an investigator on Monday, and just hours after the investigator tried to contact Heiserman, he died by suicide, according to police.

    Under the Texas Penal Code, invasive visual recording is a state felony and applies when someone is accused of photographing or videotaping someone’s intimate area without consent, videotaping in a bathroom or changing room, or receiving sexually explicit videos or pictures and forwarding it to another person.

      Oh, now Texas has a problem with invading people’s intimate areas!? I can’t keep up.

        It’s consistent in their minds. Their innocent virgin daughters need to be protected, but the filthy whores who made them commit adultery need to be punished.

      Well, we all already probably know what this sickie was up to.

        Probably, but not necessarily in the way you’d think.

        […] or receiving sexually explicit videos or pictures and forwarding it to another person.

        Apparently a lot of the NSFL/shock images online come from cops sharing photos from the crime scene/autopsy reports/other visual evidence among each other. My guess is he was caught sharing pictures of abuse victims or something along those lines, if he thought it was bad enough it wouldn’t just be swept under the rug.
