BUFFALO, N.Y. — A North Tonawanda man has pleaded guilty to charges of obtaining child pornography.
Michael Angstenberger, 48, pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography, which carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Angstenberger created the Snapchat account "catybug1234" which he used to communicate and get explicit images from minors in other states and countries. He pretended to be a young girl to get the images.
The victims include a 12-year-old girl in Kentucky, who sent him photos in December of 2021.
Another victim was a girl who was 11-12 years old from Arkansas who sent photos to Angstenberger at his request.
Angstenberger is scheduled to be sentenced in December.
