Roosevelt man sent 'indecent' pictures, messages to minors, Nassau police say

Children received "indecent" pictures and messages in a group chat on Snapchat on Monday morning from a 33-year-old Roosevelt man, Nassau police said.

Tamel T. Dixon surrendered to police Thursday evening, police said.

Dixon was charged with a felony, disseminating indecent material to minors — the children were under 17 years old — and a misdemeanor, endangering the welfare of a child, police said.

Dixon appeared Friday in First District Court in Hempstead where a judge issued a temporary order of protection. He was ordered to return to court Tuesday.

His attorney could not be reached for comment.
