BELMONT, MASS. (WHDH) - A 45-year-old Belmont man is facing criminal charges after an investigation determined he had possessed child sexual abuse material, according to police.
On Saturday, the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Crime Unit Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Crime Scene Services, and the Belmont Police Department arrested Leon Dyer on two counts of possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material, or child pornography, according to state police.
