Greene PD, FBI storm home of suspected child pornography distributor
GREENE – In a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Village of Greene Police Department aided in the arrest of local man for trafficking child pornography over his computer.
FBI agents and police officers stormed the residence of Charles A. Robbins, 50, at 27 North Chenango St. in the Village of Greene Friday morning executing a “no knock search warrant,” said Green Police Chief Steven Dutcher.
The Greene police have been involved in the investigation for the past several months after federal agents traced Robbins’ alleged exchanges of child pornography through his computer, explained Dutcher.
“In cases like this it takes some time to gather all the necessary information needed to make an arrest,” he said.
Robbins was turned over to the FBI and was charged with receiving child pornography and possession of child pornography. He was arraigned in federal court in Binghamton and remanded to Broome County Correctional Facility without bail.
“With crimes of this nature if you charge the defendants federally, it carries a much stiffer sentence,” said the chief, who said Robbins would be charged locally once the seized evidence had been processed by the FBI’s crime lab.
“It’s very disturbing that this type of activity goes on, but it’s getting easier for us to find and arrest people who commit theses types of crimes,” said Dutcher.
Police said Robbins was not a registered sex offender and that they had no evidence to suggest he personally created any pornographic material with children.
“At this time, no, we don’t have a reason to believe that, but a number of items were seized – thumb drives, video cameras, discs – and we will see what they tell us before we rule anything out,” said Dutcher.
