BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Alexander Seegar, 29, of Darien Center, NY, pleaded guilty
before Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci to receipt of child
pornography. The charge carries a minimum penalty of five years in prison, a
maximum of 20 years, and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Lamarque who is handling
the case, stated that Seegar was sexting 10-12 year old female students at a
school in Niagara County, posing as a 16 or 17-year-old boy. The defendant used
the Instagram profile “davidlissachi” to communicate with the girls and asked
them for sexually explicit photos. Seegar also communicated with other minors
between the ages of 10 and 15 and asked them to send him sexually explicit
photos in exchange for pictures of male genitalia that he sent them. The defendant was found in possession of
numerous photos containing child pornography.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Buffalo Office, under the direction of Special
Agent-in Charge Gary Loeffert, and the Lewiston Police Department, under the
direction of Chief Frank Previte.
Sentencing is scheduled for September 19, 2019, at 10:30
a.m. before Judge Geraci.
