ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Sean Blackwell, 35, of Gates, NY, who was convicted of
possession of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 48 months in prison by
U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi, who handled the case,
stated that Blackwell was discovered actively trading child pornography from an
apartment in Gates during an operation conducted by the FBI. Special Agents
executed a search warrant at a residence that the defendant occupied during the
period in question and seized digital items belonging to Blackwell. A forensic
examination determined that the items contained multiple images and videos of
child pornography, including images that depicted the sexual abuse of
prepubescent minors.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Rochester Office, under the direction of
Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert.
