Overview
- State police charged Travis J. Longo, 46, on June 18 with four misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child for an alleged pattern of sexually explicit communications with a child under 12.
- Cazenovia Pride Inc. announced it is canceling the June 27 festival and dissolving as an organization in response to the criminal charges and said Longo has no further affiliation.
- Longo, who also performs as a drag persona known as Anita Buffem, was elected vice president of the Cazenovia Central School District board in 2024 and the district says he is not allowed on school grounds or at district events while the matter is reviewed.
- Investigators say there may be additional victims and asked the public to contact the New York State Police at 315‑366‑6000, referencing case number NY2600762245, to provide tips or information.
- Some outlets reported that federal agents later re‑booked Longo on separate federal child‑pornography allegations after material was found on his phone, a development that federal authorities are reviewing as part of the ongoing investigation.
