On Nov. 16, 2017, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, consisting of The New York State Police, U.S. Marshal Service and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations Division, arrested 18-year-old Richard F. Curtis of Helios Court, Baldwinsville, on three counts of possession of a sexual performance by a child, a class E felony; and one count of promoting the sexual performance of a child, a class D felony.
The joint investigation determined that Curtis did possess on his cell phone multiple images of a child less than 10 years of age engaged in sexual conduct. He is also accused of uploading an image of a child less than 10 years old engaged in sexual conduct via a fictitious Facebook account.
Curtis was arraigned before Clay Town Judge Jeffrey Gosch, who remanded him to the Onondaga County Justice Center in lieu of $2,000 cash or secured bond.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information relative to this investigation may contact SP Lysander Investigator Thomas Quilter at 315.638.8651.
