West Seneca man admits to possessing child pornography

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A West Seneca man faces a minimum of five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to child pornography charges Thursday, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.

Officials said Corey Beasley, 38, took sexually explicit photos of himself and a minor female in June 2022. The following year, search warrants were executed at Beasley's residence and investigators seized multiple devices, including his cellphone that contained sexually explicit images of the female victim.

Other images of child pornography that Beasley received and possessed were also recovered, according to officials.

Beasley could face a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and his sentencing will be scheduled at a later date.
