On February 12, 2019, Homeland Security Investigations in Buffalo received information from an international law enforcement network that child pornography, which potentially originated in Western New York, had been recovered by authorities in various countries, including Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and France.

With assistance from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Homeland Security Investigation Special Agents used data associated with the images to locate the residence at which the images had been produced.
