Child Pornography Suspect Pleads Guilty in New York
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A 41-year-old man from Chautauqua County has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, according to a recent court filing.
Jose Perez, of Celeron, NY, admitted to uploading a child pornography file to Dropbox, an electronic service provider, on December 15, 2022.
A search warrant was executed at Perez’s residence after the file was uploaded, and during the search, Perez’s cell phone was seized. A subsequent examination of the phone revealed approximately three images and one video of child pornography.
Som of the images depicted prepubescent minors less than 12 years old engaging in sexually explicit conduct. In addition, Perez admits that, on two or more occasions, he engaged in the sexual abuse, exploitation, and attempted sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor.
The guilty plea is the result of an investigation by the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Jamestown Police Department.
Perez faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for June 22, 2026, before U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.
The case was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango.
