Overview

  • Brian Woehr, a former school custodian, has been indicted on 113 felony charges, including sexual abuse and distributing child sexual exploitation material.
  • The indictment alleges Woehr filmed himself sexually abusing a minor and shared the footage online, with each distribution re-victimizing the child, prosecutors said.
  • The investigation began on April 30 after a tip from national and state task forces led to a search warrant and the seizure of Woehr's cellphone, which contained incriminating evidence.
  • Woehr is being held on bail set at $1.5 million cash, $5 million bond, or $15 million partially secured bond, with the next court appearance scheduled for June 20.
  • Authorities have not confirmed any connection between the alleged victim and the school and are urging anyone with additional information to contact the Suffolk County Digital Forensics Unit.
