BUFFALO, N.Y. — A man from Genesee County was arrested and charged by criminal complaint for allegedly producing child pornography, according to the United States Attorney's Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan P. Cantil says back in April a law enforcement officer working undercover online discovered a sexually explicit video that included a prepubescent female. The female appeared to be between 9 years old and 11 years old.
The IP address was traced to the residence of Christopher Brown, 40, in Alexander.
A federal search warrant was executed on July 17, where investigators seized several items including three cell phones and a computer from the residence. Investigators recovered a DVD that contained explicit video of child pornography that was allegedly produced by Brown using a hidden camera in his bathroom.
Four firearms, including two rifles and two pistols and ammunition were also recovered by Investigators.
Brown made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Roemer and is being detained. If convicted, Brown faces a minimum penalty of 15 years in prison. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
