KINGSTON – Members of the Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team (URGENT) arrested a Kingston man on obscenity related charges.
Since August, the US Department of Homeland Security had investigated explicit online communications between a Kingston man and a person he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, who was in fact, an undercover Homeland Security agent.
Over the course of several days in the end of August, several conversations took place, which included discussion about meeting in person for sexual conduct and the transmission of sexually explicit photographs.
On December 21, members of URGENT and Homeless Security executed a search warrant at the home of Matthew Brownlee, Jr., 26, of Kingston, and later charged him with the felony of disseminating indecent material to minors. He was arraigned and released to appear in Kingston City Court at a later date.
