Police, FBI Warn of Child Porn Virus on Facebook

The Naugatuck Police Department has received a complaint from a resident who found child pornography on Facebook.

The complaint was filed on Friday, March 21, when a woman advised officers that while she was scrolling through her Facebook news feed, she found a post that stated "watch this if you are curious." When she opened it, she found a post containing footage of a small child involved in a sex act."

The case has been referred to the FBI, which is investigating the incident. Naugatuck Police said the FBI advised them that they had received numerous complaints of this feed from all over the United States.

"Numerous other police agencies within Connecticut have recently reported that they have received complaints of the same type," Naugatuck Police Lt. Bryan Cammarata said.

Police remind citizens that anyone who observes these posts should immediately report them.
