Overview
- Leon Dyer, 45, was arrested on two counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, which took place Saturday and was confirmed by Massachusetts State Police.
- State Police Cyber Crime Unit’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Crime Scene Services, and the Belmont Police Department handled the investigation and arrest.
- Belmont Public Schools suspended Dyer’s school-issued accounts and barred him from school property while telling families there is no information suggesting he had inappropriate contact with students.
- Dyer is due to be arraigned Monday in Cambridge District Court and officials say the agency is continuing an active probe with no further details released and no public record of retained counsel.
- Authorities said digital forensic work is likely part of the investigation, families were directed to the Middlesex Child Advocacy Center for support, and the case may take time before more information is shared.
