A Latham man has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the receipt of child pornography.
According to a recent investigation, Eduardo Abreu, age 48, received approximately 225 images of child pornography over the internet on or about August 21, 2024.
Abreu appeared in Albany before United States Magistrate Judge Christian F. Hummel yesterday and was ordered detained pending a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday, August 29.
The charges in the complaint are merely accusations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Under federal law, Abreu faces at least 15 years and up to 40 years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least 5 years and up to life. He may also be ordered to pay restitution to the victims of his offense and forfeit any devices used in the offense.
Abreu would also have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
The FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force is investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Allen J. Vickey is prosecuting the case.
Launched in May 2006, Project Safe Childhood is a program led by United States Attorney’s offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) to combat child exploitation and human trafficking.
