The January arrest of an Auburn man on sexual abuse and child pornography charges has lead to the arrest of another city man, Auburn Police said Thursday.
Auburn Police Department detectives on Wednesday charged Paul C. Hoffman, 36, of 1 Barber St., with possessing child pornography on his personal computer.

" Sexual sin is soaring and in all places and situations. There are always ones who suffer. My wife was counseled by an adulterous pastor and his staff, she was counseled to end her marriage, she was counseled she could go to their bible college after her divorce. She committed adultery in the church, left her family (3 sons) and the children always pay the price weather it`s sexual abuse, adultery, etc. The people of Cayuga County should be made aware of sexual predators who are supposed to serve the people.
