PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - Dylan Lefebvre-Ruesch, 25, of Plattsburgh, faces charges of possession of child pornography and failing to register as a sex offender.
Plattsburgh police say they arrested Lefebvre-Ruesch Thursday after they executed a warrant on his residence and found computer equipment and other electronic devices containing at least a dozen pornographic images of children.
In February, authorities from Dallas, Texas, contacted city detectives about an investigation involving a 12-year-old victim who had allegedly been solicited online. They believe it was by someone in the Plattsburgh area.
Lefebvre-Ruesch is set to appear in court later this month.
