Child Pornography Charges: Brighton Man Arrested
A 26-year-old Brighton man has been arrested and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography, U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced. Richard Dzionara-Norsen, of Brighton, NY, is facing a minimum penalty of 5 years imprisonment and maximum of 20 years imprisonment, a lifetime period of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
Dzionara-Norsen was apprehended by members of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force after he was allegedly observed by federal agents actively trading child pornography online. According to the criminal complaint, Dzionara-Norsen admitted to agents that he traded child pornography and had done so for a period of several months while living in Brighton, NY.
The defendant made an initial appearance on August 20, 2018, before United States Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson. Dzionara-Norsen is being held without bail pending the results of a detention hearing.
The charges against Dzionara-Norsen stem from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Gary Loeffert.
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.
