(WNY News Now) – A Frewsburg, NY, man faces charges for allegedly receiving and possessing child pornography, carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 40 years, according to U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross.
Buffalo – Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango revealed that the arrest followed a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), indicating that someone in Frewsburg had uploaded child pornography online. The investigation led authorities to Jeffrey Paden, 57, who was previously convicted in 2015 for a similar offense. He served 57 months in prison and is a registered sex offender.
The FBI executed a search warrant on Paden’s electronic devices, uncovering multiple images of child pornography. The case was a joint effort by the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force and the New York State Police.
