Vice President of Bikers Against Child Abuse Arrested on Child Pornography Charges

John C. Todaro, a leader in a child advocacy group, faces felony charges as investigators expand their probe into his electronic devices.

  • John C. Todaro, vice president of the Buffalo chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse, was arrested on April 9, 2025, on charges of promoting and possessing child sexual abuse material.
  • Todaro was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in Amherst court in May 2025.
  • Authorities conducted a digital sweep of Todaro's electronic devices as part of an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation, with further evidence potentially forthcoming.
  • Bikers Against Child Abuse, an organization dedicated to protecting abused children, has faced prior scandals involving members accused or convicted of child abuse and pornography-related crimes.
  • The arrest raises renewed scrutiny over the group’s vetting processes, as Todaro’s role gave him significant access to children.
