VP of Bikers Against Child Abuse Buffalo branch arrested on child porn possession charges
The vice president of the Buffalo branch of Bikers Against Child Abuse has been arrested on charges of child porn possession.
Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) pledges “to create a safer environment for abused children”, according to the mission statement on their website.
The tax exempt non-profit also seeks to “empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live."
Police have said thanks to his role within the group, Todaro had opportunities to be around children.
Investigators from Clarence, just northeast of Buffalo, conducted a sweep of the 49-year-old’s electronic devices as part of an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation supported by the Troop A Computer Crimes Unit, according to a statement from the New York State Police. It’s not clear what tipped investigators off.
Todaro was released on his own recognizance and will appear in court in Amherst again in May.
Oklahoma teacher, wife of police chief Emma Hancock sentenced for sexually abusing 15-year-old student
An Oklahoma mayor’s daughter who is also the wife of the town’s police chief was found guilty on Wednesday of soliciting sex from a 15-year-old student she taught.
Emma Delaney Hancock, 28, will spend the next four years in prison for two counts of soliciting sex with a minor through the use of technology, KFOR reported
She is married to Wellston Police Chief Alfred Hancock, with whom she shares two children, and is the daughter of Wellston Mayor Paul Whitnah.
Hancock, a former substitute teacher in Wellston, began talking to the then-15-year-old boy on Oct. 6, 2022, after the student put his number into her phone on the preface of needing help with an assignment.
Hancock sent a friend request to the minor later that night and the two began a conversation for several weeks.
The messages soon turned lewd when the teen, who remains unidentified, sent a shirtless pic to Hancock over the social media app.
“Are we sending half-naked pictures now?” Hancock responded.
The teen replied, “I don’t know, are we?”
“Are you trying to get me to lose my job?” Hancock allegedly said.
Did she not realize there was much more than her job on the line?
The pair then shared naked photos and sexually explicit videos, the student told investigators in November 2022, KOKH reported, citing an arrest affidavit.
The student alleged that he and Hancock, on two occasions, met in the classroom the then-26-year-old was subbing in and make out inside a closet during the teen’s lunch, claiming the teacher groped him at least once.
The teen claimed Hancock would also allow him to take hits from her vape pen.
Rumors began to spread about the illegal relationship after the teen reportedly told one of his friends, who went to confront Hancock.
Hancock initially denied any wrongdoing but then allegedly admitted to the inappropriate behavior, saying it would “not amount to anything because they were not going to get caught.”
Authorities obtained a search warrant for Hancock’s Snapchat account and discovered videos of the classroom incidents.
She turned herself in on April 13, 2023.
During the trial, Hancock’s husband, Alfred Hancock, testified in support of his wife, saying he believed she didn’t do anything wrong.
Wha....! And he's the Chief of Police?
“She looked me dead in the eyes and said, there’s nothing [on her phone]. I mean, I believe that there’s nothing there,” the police chief told jurors in October according to NonDoc.com. “She’s my wife. I believe her. I’m on her side.”
Hancock, 28, who goes by Delaney, denied the relationship with the teen and claimed she never sent or received any sexual messages to or from the boy.
She was found guilty of two of the five charges she faced.
She was acquitted of two charges of “lewd or indecent acts to (a) child under 16,” and one of “soliciting sexual conduct or communication with (a) minor by use of technology.”
Lincoln County District Judge Sheila Kirk sentenced Hancock on Wednesday to six years in prison, three for each charge.
The convicted felon will only have to serve four years behind bars if she adheres to the sentence, KOKH reported.
Along with the prison time, Hancock will have to register as a sex offender.
