A Bayport man has been arrested and charged with allegedly possessing and promoting child pornography, the Suffolk County Police Department said.
A tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a nationwide network of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, led the Suffolk police to launch an investigation into Ryan Yost, 22, according to a department news release.
Upon executing a search warrant at Yost's home, Suffolk police detectives allegedly found a cellphone containing images of child pornography, according to the release.
About 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Suffolk police arrested and charged Yost with promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child under 16, the release said. Yost was being held overnight at the Suffolk police department's Fifth Precinct in Patchogue and is set to be arraigned on Wednesday at First District Court in Central Islip.
Suffolk Digital Forensics Unit detectives ask anyone with additional information, or who may be a victim, to call 631-852-6572.
