A 54-year-old Akron man has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, announced Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. today.

Robert J. Strach, of Akron, NY, pleaded guilty to the charge before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years and a $250,000 fine.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott S. Allen, Jr., who is handling the case, Strach was part of an online community dedicated to the exchange and discussion of child pornography.

On March 7, 2016, Special Agents from Homeland Security Investigations, Child Exploitation Unit, executed a search warrant at the defendant’s residence and seized a desktop computer.

The plea is the result of an investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, Child Exploitation Unit, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge James C. Spero.
