TOMPKINS COUNTY - The New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Ithaca has arrested two individuals following an investigation into allegations of child abuse and endangerment.

In August 2024, State Police were notified of potential child abuse involving  Victor Albrecht, age 35, of Freeville, NY, and  Jordan E. Boardman, age 30, of Brooktondale, NY.

Through the course of the investigation, it was determined that Albrecht inappropriately touched a child under the age of 14 on separate occasions in both the town of Groton and the town of Caroline. Additionally, investigators found that Albrecht and Boardman unlawfully tattooed a child while in the town of Caroline.

Further investigation revealed that Boardman endangered the welfare of a child by excessively punishing the victim in the town of Caroline. During this period, Albrecht violated an order of protection issued by a judge by maintaining contact with Boardman.

On December 12, 2024, Boardman was arrested and charged with the misdemeanors of Unlawfully Dealing with a Child (Tattooing a Child Less than the Age of 18) and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. She was scheduled to appear in Caroline Town Court on December 30, 2024.
