After A Cybertip, A 53-Year-Old Hudson Valley Man Is Charged With Child Sexual Exploitation: NYSP

WALLKILL, NY — An Ulster County man is facing felony charges connected to child pornography.

The New York State Police say that on March 6, the Troop F Computer Crimes Unit arrested 53-year-old Robert Cordani, of Wallkill, related to the promotion and possession of images consistent with child sexual exploitation.

Cordani was charged with felony promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child less than 17 years of age, and felony possessing a sexual performance by a child less than 16 years of age.

State police say the investigation started after a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which led to the execution of a search warrant at Cordani's home in Wallkill, in January.

The arrest was the result of a collaboration between the New York State Police Troop F Computer Crimes Unit, the Troop F Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Highland, the Violent Gang Narcotics Enforcement, the Community Stabilization Unit and the Ulster County Domestic Violence Unit.
