For several days now Croton has been abuzz with rumors that FBI agents raided a home on Observatory Drive last Wednesday, August 7. The Chronicle had been able to confirm that it was indeed an FBI operation, from law enforcement sources and eyewitnesses. However, until now authorities had kept details under wraps.
The story was broken today by News12 Westchester on its television broadcasts, that the FBI had arrested a 41 year old man living in the house and charged him with possession of child pornography. The charges were reportedly filed in U.S. federal court, the Southern District of NY, White Plains Branch. The man allegedly possessed 12 items of child pornography that had been printed out from the internet, News12 reported.
While News12 named the suspect, who is reportedly being held on $150,000 in bail, we are refraining from doing so until we can independently verify his identity and other details. MORE AT Update on that FBI raid in Croton. - by Michael Balter (substack.com)

Thank you. I guess something like this was never going to stay buried for very long.
ReplyDeleteVery grateful to News 12 and the Chronicle for all this information. Too often, Croton residents are left in the dak on big events like this.
