BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man is going to prison for six years for the attempted receipt of child pornography.
Mohammed Uddin, a 36-year-old man, had engaged in sexually explicit online and text communications with an undercover law enforcement officer, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Thursday.
He had believed that he was communicating with a 13-year-old girl. Officials said that during a three-week period, he had discussed having sexual relations with the child, shared pornography, spoke about taking her virginity, attempted to induce the child to produce and send him explicit photos and videos, and formed a plan to meet the child at her Rochester home for sex.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said Uddin had traveled from Cheektowaga from Rochester, believing that he was going to the child's residence. Upon arrival, he was taken into custody, and his phone was taken, along with candy that he had purchased as a gift for the child.
