Detective Trent Mellott of the Upper Allen Township Police Department began an investigation which resulted in a federal conviction of sexual exploitation of a minor. Through the use of administrative subpoenas and facial recognition, Upper Allen was able to identify victims in several states and Canada. After identifying the victims, the case was referred to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) which ultimately led to a federal conviction. The US Attorney's Office of the Northern District of New York's press release is linked below. We'd like to congratulate Detective Mellott and the Upper Allen Township Police Department for their excellent work on this case.
