[TTL News 306]

This morning at around 09:00am the Elmira Police Department executed a search warrant at a residence on the South Side of Elmira. Police say the search warrant was based on an investigation initiated by the NYS Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

A CyberTip sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children provided information that an Elmira resident had uploaded child sexual abuse material to the internet.

As a result of this investigation, police arrested 31 year old  Nicholas Hopkins of Elmira.

Hopkins was charged with one count of Promoting a Sexual Performance by a Child, a Class D Felony, and held for Elmira City Court arraignment.
