UDPATE: Nov. 10 -
New details have emerged in the case of a former police officer facing charges for possessing child sexual abuse material.
Court documents reveal Ryan Agustin told investigators in September 2025 his sexual relationship with a teenage girl began the previous summer.
Agustin was a Bellevue police officer from 2018 until Friday when he was fired after prosecutors filed charges against him.
According to the arrest affidavit, he told investigators he and a 17-year-old girl traded explicit photos and videos on Instagram for a year before he self reported in June that a teen had sent him nude photo.
That report led investigators to the girl who, according to the affidavit, told them Agustin once bullied her into sending explicit photos, and that they had physical sexual encounters.
Agustin is due in front of a judge this week.
