BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Steven Fetterman, 36, of Jamestown, NY, who was convicted of possession of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 100 months in prison and 30 years supervised release by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan P. Cantil, who handled the case, stated that on November 19, 2015, the defendant possessed 1,720 videos and 13,838 images of child pornography. Approximately 44 videos and 95 images involved prepubescent minors or minors under the age of 12, as well as depictions of violence.

Fetterman previously engaged in a pattern of activity involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor. In 2000, the defendant forced Victim 1, a minor, to engage in oral sex. Also, between 2001 and 2003, the defendant attempted to fondle Victim 2.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Kelly.
