Longo was taken into custody by the New York State Police, and a search of his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >phone uncovered numerous explicit materials<\/a>. He had previously been active in the LGBTQ community, serving as a mentor and founding Cazenovia Pride Fest, which has now been canceled.Authorities and community officials condemned his actions, highlighting the betrayal of trust given his role in protecting children and serving on the school board. Longo is currently held without bail, and the incident has caused shock and fear among community members, especially students and parents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A drag queen who is the vice president of his local school board has been arrested on allegations that he possessed child pornography.<\/p>\n<p>On June 18, the <a href=\"https:\/\/troopers.ny.gov\/news\/state-police-arrest-cazenovia-man-following-child-exploitation-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York State Police<\/a> arrested Travis Longo, 46, of Cazenovia, New York, on four counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
