A Harford, New York resident has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in a heinous crime that shocked the community. Noah Oliver Fisch-Lewis, 32, was found guilty of violating federal laws relating to the sexual exploitation of a minor.

According to court records, Fisch-Lewis communicated with an undercover agent posing as the mother of a 10-year-old girl from September 23, 2022, until October 8, 2022. During this period, he repeatedly expressed his desire to engage in sexual activity with the minor in graphic terms.

On October 8, 2022, Fisch-Lewis drove from upstate New York to Erie, Pennsylvania, with the intention of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with the purported 10-year-old. He was apprehended upon his arrival at the agreed meeting place.

Fisch-Lewis was sentenced in federal court to 12 years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a special assessment of $5,200.

United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, Pennsylvania State Police, Erie Police Department, Millcreek Police Department, and Erie County Detectives for their role in the investigation that led to Fisch-Lewis’s conviction.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Fisch-Lewis’s sentence serves as a reminder of the severity of crimes involving child exploitation. The community demands justice for the victims of such heinous crimes, and we will continue to advocate for their rights and safety.

Federal laws relating to the sexual exploitation of a minor are in place to protect children from predators like Fisch-Lewis. Those who commit such crimes will face the full force of the law.
