Mendoza was arraigned on JUne 24 on a felony complaint charging him with Promoting an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, a class D felony, and Possessing an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, a class E felony. The defendant was released on his own recognizance pending further proceedings.
DA Cacace said: “Our investigators work tirelessly with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the New York State Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to identify and apprehend individuals like Christopher Mendoza who promote this obscene material. We will continue to aggressively pursue anyone who attempts to exploit the most vulnerable members of society, our children.”
