More details have emerged in the case of a Jetblue pilot who was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport just before he was about to fly to Paris.
Jeremy Gudorf, 33, from Ohio, on Thursday around 8:40 PM, was held on board the plane after the federal authorities discovered that he had a paving order for second -degree sexual exploitation of a minor, NBC Boston reported.
The State Police of Massachusetts was the arresting agency and was tipped by American customs and border protection.

Gudorf was presented on Friday in the court of East Boston, where public prosecutors revealed that the indictment of sexual exploitation in North Carolina arose. Because he was arrested elsewhere for crime, he was also accused of justice in Massachusetts.
The prosecutors asked the judge to hold Gudorf without having a bail and order him to give up his passport, WCVB reported.
“He is a commercial pilot, the command is from North Carolina and he lives in Ohio. So for those reasons we ask that he will be held without bail and give up his passport, “said justice Kyle Neyman.
Tanvi Verma, his lawyer, said that Gudorf “has the financial capacity to rent a car and drive to North Carolina” and “assured me that he will do that.”

The Huntersville police said they received a tip about Gurdorf in October from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“After an extensive investigation, a search order was obtained for Google, Inc., which led to the identification of the source of the reported images,” the Department said in a statement.

'The moment the crime was committed, data that he lived in Huntersville, NC. During the investigation, and before he was identified as a suspect, he moved from the state. '
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Jetblue revealed that they were aware of the arrest of Gurdorf and that he was placed 'with unlimited leave as a law enforcement with the case'.
