Upon arriving in Fairfax County with plans to commit sexual acts with minors, Testa and six other men were arrested by detectives from FCPD’s CEXU and the Street Crimes Unit. On January 31, 2025, the department helped the New York State Police‘s Computer Crimes Unit and the SP Clarence’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation arrest the Amherst man.
