BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Corey Beasley, 39, of West Seneca, NY, who was convicted of receipt of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 180 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Caitlin M. Higgins, who handled the case, stated that in June 2022, Beasley took sexually explicit photographs of himself and a minor female (Victim) with his cellphone. In January 2023, a West Seneca police officer received a report that the sexually explicit images were found on a tablet belonging to Beasley. Subsequently, search warrants were executed at Beasley’s residence, during which investigators seized multiple devices. A forensic review of Beasley’s cellphone recovered multiple sexually explicit images of the Victim. The forensic review also recovered other images of child pornography, which Beasley received and possessed.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the West Seneca Police Department, under the direction of Chief Edward Baker and Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Erin Keegan.
