ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Christopher Kelly, 56, of Painted Post, NY, pleaded guilty
to possession of child pornography, before U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A.
Wolford. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a
$250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi, who is handling the
case, stated that in April 2018, an undercover FBI Special Agent determined
that a computer at the defendant’s address in Painted Post was sharing child
pornography. A federal search warrant was executed in November 2018 during
which investigators seized several of Kelly’s digital devices. A forensic
analysis revealed that the devices contained approximately 251 images and five
videos containing child pornography, some of which involved prepubescent
minors, as well as children being subjected to violence.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Corning Office, under the direction of Special
Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert.
Sentencing is scheduled for October 30, 2019, before Judge
Wolford.
