Steuben County’s District Attorney says this is “not the type of case we expect” in this community. The names of two known community figures with starkly different backgrounds emerge at the center of it: A notorious criminal, Larry Comfort Sr., who was linked to a state police investigator’s fatal shooting, and a sitting county legislator, Steven P. Maio.
Few specifics have been revealed publicly about how the sex trafficking operated or how many alleged victims it involved. But the 34-count criminal indictment alleges five men are linked together by a set of felony charges that entail drugs, witness intimidation, profiting from prostitution and enterprise corruption.

New York State Police initially received a tip about the sex trafficking ring and spent hundreds of hours performing surveillance and conducting witness interviews to put together evidence for a grand jury, according to Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker.
The investigation remains ongoing.
