Buffalo Man Pleads Guilty to Production of Child Pornography
A Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, a maximum of 30 years, and a fine of $250,000.
Michael Milton, Sr., 42, of Buffalo, New York, pleaded guilty to the charge in federal court before Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci, Jr.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango, Milton coerced a 17-year-old minor (Victim 1) to engage in sexual intercourse and oral sexual activity inside a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicle that Milton owned at the time.
The investigation determined that Milton engaged in sexual contact with Victim 1 on various occasions between at least December 21, 2014, and November 6, 2015. During that sexual contact, the defendant used his cellular telephone and a camera to create images and videos of Victim 1 engaging in sexually explicit conduct which he stored on different electronic storage devices.
Milton was previously convicted of Rape in Erie County Court involving Victim 1 and another minor female.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Acting Special Agent-in-Charge, Kevin P. Lyons, the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Byron Lockwood, and the Cheektowaga Police Department, under the direction of Chief David Zack.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 12, 2018, at 2:30 p.m. before Judge Geraci.
