SUDBURY, MA — A 49-year-old Sudbury man has been arrested and charged following a child pornography investigation, police reported Wednesday.
Police said Tyson Tu, of Colson Circle, was arrested on Tuesday after a joint investigation between Sudbury police and the Department of Homeland Security, which often assists local police in child porn investigations.
Chief Scott Nix said Tu was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography after he was found with pictures of "very young minor aged victims."
