Cameron Stroke, Child Pornography Possession, New York 2011

Amherst Man Charged with Possession of Child Pornography

BUFFALO, N.Y.—A federal grand jury has returned a five count Indictment charging Cameron Stroke, 32, of Amherst, N.Y., with possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. today.

The charges against Cameron Stroke carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. This case is a stark reminder of the severity of child pornography crimes and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.

According to the indictment, in February of 2011, Cameron Stroke possessed child pornography which contained graphic depictions of the sexual abuse of prepubescent children and children performing sexual acts on animals. The images were found following online postings made by Cameron Stroke soliciting minors for sexual purposes.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the federal government. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

The investigation was conducted by Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Investigators with the New York State Police under the direction of Major Michael Cerretto, and Detectives with the Cheektowaga Police Department under the direction of Chief David Zack.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

This case highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in tackling complex crimes like child pornography. The involvement of multiple agencies demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to protecting children from exploitation.

The exact date of the crime is February 2011, and the defendant, Cameron Stroke, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
