District Attorney of Suffolk County

Spota has been the District Attorney since 2001, when he defeated three-time incumbent James M. Catterson Jr. He was reelected in 2005, and again in 2009 without any major-party opposition. Spota has been active in the fight against the distribution of child pornography over the Internet. In 2003, Spota indicted twelve Suffolk residents who utilized, KaZaA, a file-sharing program to spread child pornography. As a result, Spota was called to testify before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary on September 9, 2003 at a hearing concerning the building on "Pornography, Technology, and Process: Problems and Solutions on Peer-to-Peer Networks." Spota recommended a new federal task force and that legislation was needed to "attack the owners and the distributors of these programs, who are reaping enormous profits."

Controversy

In May 2013 the FBI and the US Attorney's Office opened an investigation into the alleged assault of a suspect in police custody, subsequent cover-up and coercion of witnesses by James Burke, Chief of the Suffolk County Police Department; charges to which the former chief pleaded guilty. The federal inquiry subsequently expanded beyond Mr. Burke to investigate a broader pattern of corruption in both the police department and the office of the Suffolk County district attorney, Thomas J. Spota.
