BUFFALO, N.Y. – In a disturbing case of exploitation, former teacher Anthony V. Giambrone has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography involving prepubescent minors.
According to U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross, Giambrone, 40, of Kenmore, NY, appeared before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara and admitted to the crime, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango revealed that in April 2020, Giambrone, a former teacher with Erie One BOCES working at Maryvale Intermediate School, possessed images of child pornography on two separate laptop computers.
The investigation, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia and the Town of Tonawanda Police Department under the direction of Chief James Stauffiger, uncovered a staggering 1,052 images and 381 videos of child pornography, some of which included prepubescent minors.
The plea is a significant blow to the community, highlighting the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
Giambrone’s sentencing is scheduled for August 27, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. before Judge Arcara. The case serves as a stark reminder of the severity of child exploitation crimes and the need for continued efforts to prevent such heinous acts.
