Nassau Officer Faces Grand Larceny Charges: $200K Allegedly Blown On Onlyfans

Officer's Alleged Misuse of $200K Shocks Community

Leonard Cagno, a Nassau County police officer from Oakdale, found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons this September. On Wednesday, the 17th, the 39-year-old was arraigned in Suffolk County Court, facing grand larceny charges. Prosecutors claim that Cagno, who also owns BW Media Consulting, LLC, duped a fellow officer into investing $200,000 in his company between February and June 2024.

Despite promising a legitimate business investment, Cagno allegedly funneled the funds into personal expenses instead. The list of splurges includes a new car, paying off debts, and even gambling. Notably, some of the money allegedly went towards subscriptions to the adult platform OnlyFans. Records reveal that the entire investment vanished in less than two months, leaving prosecutors shaking their heads.

Trust Betrayed in Law Enforcement Ranks

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney did not mince words, describing the allegations as a "shocking abuse of the essential trust that exists between fellow police officers." Cagno's alleged actions, he said, severely undermined one of the core bonds in law enforcement.

"This defendant is alleged to have preyed upon that trust for his own financial gain," Tierney stated, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

Currently facing a charge of second-degree grand larceny, Cagno was released on his own recognizance. The charge is classified as non-bail eligible under New York law, which has sparked discussions about the state's legal system and its handling of financial crimes.

Prosecutors Call for Other Potential Victims

In a move to uncover more potential wrongdoings, prosecutors have urged anyone who may have fallen victim to Cagno's alleged schemes to contact the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office at 631-853-4626. This case has captivated local communities, prompting many to stay tuned for further developments.

The buzz surrounding this case, and its implications for trust within the police force, underscores the importance of integrity among those who serve and protect. As more details emerge, the story of Leonard Cagno serves as a cautionary tale on the perils of misplaced trust.
