OGDENSBURG — A 47-year-old Ogdensburg man was arrested on Feb. 20 on charges related to child exploitation.
Jason R. Sias of Mechanic Street was charged with one count each of promotion of a sexual performance by a child and possession of a sexual performance by a child.
The arrest followed an investigation initiated by an online storage platform, which reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in November 2024 that child exploitation material had been stored on its platform.
Sias was arraigned in City of Ogdensburg Court and remanded to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility in lieu of $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond bail.
He is scheduled to reappear in court on Feb. 27.
The Troop B Computer Crime Unit was assisted by the Ogdensburg Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.
The investigation remains ongoing.
