Nikolaos Alexander Fotiou, 18, was taken to the Alamance County Detention Center and is being held there under no bond, as of April 24. According to a Burlington Police Department press release, the Invictus Task Force aided with the investigation.
According to case documents, Fotiou knowingly distributed material containing a video of a minor engaged in sexual activity.
