Criminal Investigation Begins
Dig deeper:
The investigation into the Dearborn man began when investigators learned he allegedly distributed illicit content on the internet.
Another layer to the case was that Alabudi also enticed others to commit self-harm, according to Michigan State Police.
Handling the case were the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the MSP Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
A search of his residence resulted in digital evidence being seized.
