We began looking for him,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said Friday. “Eventually the Department of Homeland Security arrested Mr. Cardoza after he entered the country illegally this past July.” Police said he was arrested in Laredo, Texas after crossing the Rio Grande. He was then extradited to Suffolk County. “I unfortunately have worked several of these child pornography cases, and there is very little in this world that is more disturbing,” Sini said. Cardoza was charged with 22 counts of possession of a sexual performance by a child.
