Man accused of sexual abuse

ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A month long investigation by a number of police agencies has lead to the arrest of a Verona man.

Brent Reader, 32, has been accused of filming sexual acts with a child under the age of 17.

Police say Reader met the child on Facebook and pretended to be a teenager as well. Police believe the two met in person in the City of Rome and that Reader recorded their sexual encounters.

Reader has been charged with use of a child in a sexual performance, criminal sexual act and resisting arrest.

State Police say they believe there may be more victims out there and are asking anyone with information to come forward by calling the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at (315) 736-8002, extension 232.
