ALBANY, NEW YORK – Bruce Williams, age 38, was sentenced
today to 240 months in prison for distributing and receiving child pornography.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C.
Jaquith and James N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field
Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
As part of his guilty plea, Williams admitted that he
knowingly received and distributed child pornography over the internet using
peer-to-peer file sharing software. A
search warrant executed at Williams’s house revealed that he possessed, on
electronic devices, 122 video files and 400 image files that depicted child
pornography.
Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy also
imposed a life term of supervised release, which will start after Williams is
released from prison, and ordered a payment of $5,000 in restitution to child
pornography victims. As a result of his conviction, Williams will be required
to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
This case was investigated by the New York State
Police-Computer Crimes Unit, Colonie Police Department, Rensselaer Police
Department, and the FBI. The case was
prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey J. L. Brown.
