Woman Who Enticed Minor Sentenced for Receiving Child Pornography in First of Its Kind Prosecution

“This first of its kind case is a good example of why it is important for parents to keep a close eye on the cell phone and computer usage of their children,” said U.S. Attorney Hochul. “In this case, it was alert parents who notified law enforcement which resulted in the defendant being brought to justice. As a father myself, I also can’t emphasize enough the need to have frequent conversations with your child about the dangers that online communication and sexting can pose. By all means parents should encourage children to report to them anything which does not seem right—including pressure to maintain a relationship.”
