Rochester Man Behind Bars for Child Pornography
A 49-year-old Savona man has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years.
John Fadden has a history of sex crimes against children. In 1991, 1992, and 2001, he was convicted of Sexual Abuse 1st: Sexual Contact with Individual Less Than 11 Years Old. In 2013, Fadden was convicted of Sex Offender Fail to Report Change of Address/Status In 10 Days.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received two cybertip reports in March 2021 that Fadden had uploaded approximately 185 image files of suspected child pornography from his Yahoo account.
In October 2021, investigators executed a search warrant at Fadden’s residence and seized nine electronic devices and storage media. A forensic analysis recovered approximately 278 images on those devices.
Fadden is a Level 3 registered sex offender and is currently facing sentencing on January 19, 2023, before U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa.
The investigation was led by Homeland Security Investigations under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Scarpino and the New York State Police under the direction of Major Eugene Staniszewski.
