Dansville: Livingston County Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty
reports the arrest of Dansville man on felony level charges after an
investigation by the Sheriff's Office. On October 4, 2017 a teacher at the
Dansville Central School District reported there were inappropriate website
searches done on her computer overnight. School officials contacted the School
Resource Officer (SRO), Sheriff's Deputy Bob Holt, and alerted him of the
situation. The SRO was able to develop a suspect, 21-year-old Kyle J. Webster,
who was employed as a custodian. Members of the Sheriff's Office Criminal
Investigation Division assisted with the investigation and recovered the
computers from the school as well as electronic devices from Webster's
residence. The computers and electronic devices were examined at a Regional
Forensic Computer Lab. There were no illegal images found on the school
computers, however there allegedly were images of child pornography on Webster's
cell phones. On March 8, 2017 Sheriff's Investigators arrested Webster and
charged him with 2 counts of felony Possessing a Sexual Performance of a Child.
Webster was also charged with Petit Larceny as it was also determined that he allegedly
stole approximately $150 from a fund-raising envelope form a teacher's desk. Webster
was turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for
processing and pre-arraignment detention. Webster was later arraigned in the
Village of Dansville Court before Judge Kenney. The Judge remanded Webster to
the custody of the Sheriff on $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond. Dansville School
Officials handled the personnel matter immediately upon the discovery of the
situation and have fully cooperated with the investigation. There is no reason
to believe that any students were affected by the incident.
