OMAHA, NE. — An Omaha firefighter has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including child pornography.

According to Omaha police, Brandon Wilson, 55, was arrested on four counts of possessing child pornography and four counts of unlawfully photographing someone without consent.

Court documents show alleged incidents dating back to 2018.

Court documents show two of the charges stem from alleged incidents in 2018, two from 2019, and four from 2020.

Omaha Fire confirmed Wilson is an active employee and has been placed on leave while police investigate.
