A Corning man, Odell C. Dotson, 29, was arrested on Dec. 26 following a joint investigation by Corning Police and the FBI into child pornography that began in September 2023.
Dotson faces three counts each of promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child, both class D felonies. A search warrant executed at his home led to the seizure of electronic devices analyzed by the FBI, with findings presented to a Steuben County grand jury.
Dotson was processed and is currently being held without bail at the Steuben County Jail as the case progresses through the legal system.
