A Jamestown man will face prison and lifetime supervision after being convicted of child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced that Brandon G. Uber, 25, who was convicted of possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor, was sentenced to serve 168 months in prison and lifetime supervised release by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.

Uber will serve 36 months of his sentence consecutive to the previous sentence of 210 months for a total of 246 months. At the time of the current offense, Uber was awaiting sentencing on a distribution of child pornography charge and was subsequently sentenced to serve 210 months on that charge.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango, who handled the case, stated that on Aug. 22, 2024, a federal search warrant was executed at Uber’s residence because of child pornography files he uploaded to an application server. During the search, various electronic devices were seized, including three tablets and a laptop.

At the time, Uber was a member of a KIK chat forum used to trade child pornography with other users. Uber used the forum to distribute child pornography to other users and was a moderator of the forum at one point. Subsequent examination of the seized devices recovered approximately 33 images and five videos of child pornography, some of which depicted the sexual exploitation of an infant or toddler and violence against children.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Erin Keegan, the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Amie Feroleto, and the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff James Quattrone.
