Judge Keeps Former Cazenovia School Board Member in Jail on Evidence He 'Can't Stop' Sexual Interest in Children
A federal judge found investigators had child sexual abuse material and explicit chats on Longo’s phone and ruled he could endanger children if released.
- On Tuesday, former Cazenovia School Board Vice President Travis J. Longo appeared in federal court for a detention hearing, where Judge Miroslav Lovric ruled he shall remain in custody without bail pending trial.
- New York State Police arrested Longo on June 17 after a mother discovered explicit messages allegedly sent by him to her 11-year-old son, prompting investigators to search the child's phone with parental consent.
- Investigators with Department of Homeland Security uncovered one photo and three videos of child sexual abuse material on Longo's iPhone, depicting sexual assaults against infants less than 1 year old and children aged 12-18 months and 5-7 years old, according to an FBI affidavit.
- Longo's defense team argued he maintained strong community ties and cared for his sick mother, but Judge Lovric accepted prosecution arguments that releasing him would allow further harm to children.
- Longo resigned Monday evening at 7:33 p.m. after the Cazenovia Board of Education held an emergency meeting and unanimously voted to begin removal proceedings, with First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III alleging he 'exploited public trust and actively sought images depicting heinous abuse.
