WAYLAND, N.Y. (WENY) - A Steuben County man was arrested today for allegedly possessing child pornography.

According to the U.S. Attorney's office, 59 year old John Buckley of Wayland was arrested for production and possession of child pornography.

The attorney's office says that a Florida woman, through a relative, turned an old smart phone over to the Joliet, Illinois Police Department after discovering that it contained images of suspected child pornography.

The phone previously belonged to Buckley, the woman's ex-boyfriend and the two had lived in Illinois. Joliet Police then sent the phone to the F-B-I Buffalo Field Office.

A search of the phone recovered images of child pornography.

Additional assistance was provided by the FBI Chicago Field Office and the Joliet Police Department.
