A New York school board vice president is facing federal and state charges after investigators allegedly discovered child sexual abuse material on his mobile phone, including videos depicting the abuse of infants. The case has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting school officials to move swiftly to remove him from office.
Travis J. Longo, 46, of Cazenovia, appeared in federal court on 20 June after prosecutors charged him with receiving and possessing child pornography. The charges stem from an investigation by New York State Police, who say evidence uncovered during a search of his phone revealed a disturbing collection of illicit material and raised concerns about possible contact with young children.
