BUFFALO, N.Y.-U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Patrick Malloy, 34, of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted of possession of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 24 months in prison by Senior U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny. He was also ordered to pay $48,000 in restitution and must register as sex offender.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig R. Gestring, who handled the case, stated that on June 24, 2023, a search warrant was executed at Malloy’s residence and several electronic devices were seized. The devices contained approximately 28,000 images of child pornography, including images of prepubescent minors under the age of 12 engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia.
