An online investigation involving the FBI, New York State Police, and Lancaster Police has led to the arrest of five men from Buffalo, Lancaster, and Lewiston, all now facing attempted rape charges.
Authorities identified the suspects as Domenic Folsom, 24, of Lancaster; Mohammed Hassan, 26, of Buffalo; CJ Wolf, 34, of Lewiston; Aleksandr Tumash, 41, of Lancaster; and Jason Harroun, 46, of Buffalo. Each has been charged with at least one count of second-degree attempted rape, according to police.
Officials said three of the men – Folsom, Hassan, and Harroun – face two counts each. Investigators say the defendants used online platforms in efforts to target children and arrange in-person meetings.
All five are currently being held at the Erie County Holding Center without bail as the case continues to move forward.
