Bath Man With Prior Sex Offense Conviction Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography Charge
ROCHESTER, N.Y.-Joshua Wormley, 38, of Bath, NY, pleaded guilty before Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford to possession of child pornography by an individual with a prior sex offense conviction.
The charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years. This is a serious offense that warrants severe punishment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan K. McGuire stated that in July 2017, Wormley was convicted of attempted possession of a sexual performance of a child. In February 2021, Wormley possessed a cell phone containing approximately 800 images and two videos of child pornography.
Some of the images and videos depicted prepubescent minors. This is a clear indication of Wormley’s continued involvement in sex crimes and a disregard for the law.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia and the Yates County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Ronald Spike.
Sentencing is scheduled for August 16, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. before Judge Wolford. Wormley will face the consequences of his actions and will be held accountable for his crimes.
It is crucial for law enforcement agencies to continue investigating and prosecuting cases like this one to prevent further harm to children and to hold perpetrators accountable.
