ROCHESTER, N.Y. – U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced that Jordan E. Brodie, 37, of LeRoy, NY, pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) following a previous conviction for possession of CSAM, before U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa. The charge carries a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum of 20 years, and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi, who is handling the case, stated that in May 2023, Brodie, a convicted sex offender under the active supervision of the Genesee County Probation Department, became involved in a chat application in which he and others traded CSAM. Brodie uploaded at least one of the images to a different platform, which then reported the image to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. An investigation by the New York State Police determined that the upload took place from Brodie’s home in LeRoy. A search warrant was executed at Brodie’s residence during which investigators seized his phone, and the contents of the social media account that uploaded the image. Images of CSAM depicting children less than 12 years old were recovered from both the phone and the social media account. Some of images included violence against children. Brodie was previously convicted of a CSAM charge in May 2021 in Genesee County, for which he was being actively supervised at the time of the current offense.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Miklos Szoczei II, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Sentencing is scheduled for October 21, 2024, at 9:15 a.m. before Judge Siragusa.
