纽约州登记在册性犯罪者Joseph Grunwald被判30年联邦监禁：胁迫引诱两名未成年人、接收儿童性虐待材料，案发时已有两段缓刑前科
现年34岁、住在纽约州纽约市 Brooklyn 的 Joseph Grunwald，10月22日在纽约东区联邦地区法院被法官 Nina R. Morrison 判处30年联邦监禁，罪名是胁迫和引诱一名未成年人从事性行为内容，以及接收儿童性虐待材料（儿童色情制品）。美国司法部纽约东区联邦检察官办公室10月23日宣布了这一量刑。Grunwald 今年8月已就一份包含三项指控的替代起诉书认罪，犯下本案联邦罪行时，他已是纽约州登记在册的性犯罪者。
法庭文件显示，2023年3月至12月间，Grunwald 通过互联网和社交媒体与两名儿童联系，向他们索取性行为视频和图片。他先在即时通讯应用 Telegram 上联系化名 John Doe-1 的14岁男孩，确认对方是未成年人后仍向其索取性图片；该男孩后来发现，被告在自己不知情的情况下把这张性图片转发到了一个群聊。2023年6月起，Grunwald 开始威胁这名受害人：6月26日他发消息称「你还有麻烦，记住我昨天说的话，那些男孩告诉了我一些关于你的事」；次日，他在男孩的犹太会堂外追赶对方后又发消息称「我要给你妈妈打电话，我有她的手机号码。祝你好运，我要把一切都告诉她」。
Grunwald 还在 Instagram 上与另一名未成年男孩 John Doe-2 交换了数千条消息索取性图片；他确认对方是未成年人，却谎称自己18岁。执法人员从 Grunwald 处查获多台电子设备，其中存有涉及其他未成年人的更多儿童性虐待图片和视频。
检方指出，Grunwald 此前已有两段性侵未成年人的定罪记录：2019年，他因在犹太会堂性侵一名7岁女孩被定罪，仅被判10年缓刑；在该案尚在审理期间，他又以提供手机和使用其借记卡为交换性侵一名13岁男孩，之后就轻罪性侵认罪、被判3年缓刑。纽约东区联邦检察官 Joseph Nocella Jr. 说：「被告已经表明他对儿童构成严重危险。今天的判决有必要让这名累犯在数十年内无法危害社区。」他还指出，被告此前在纽约州两案中都只获缓刑，未能阻吓其再犯。联邦调查局 FBI 纽约办事处助理主任 James C. Barnacle Jr. 说，这一重判将确保 Grunwald 在未来三十年无法再伤害其他儿童。
此案是司法部2006年5月启动的全国性「安全童年计划」（Project Safe Childhood）的一部分，由联邦、州和地方执法资源共同打击针对儿童的网络性剥削与性虐待。本案由纽约东区联邦检察官办公室普通犯罪科经办，助理联邦检察官 Vincent Chiappini 负责起诉，案号为24-CR-19 (NRM)。
Registered Sex Offender Joseph Grunwald Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Coercing Two Minors and Receiving Child Pornography
Joseph Grunwald, 34, of Brooklyn, New York, was sentenced on October 22 by U.S. District Judge Nina R. Morrison in the Eastern District of New York to 30 years in federal prison for coercing and enticing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct and for receiving child pornography. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York announced the sentence on October 23. Grunwald pleaded guilty in August 2026 to a three-count superseding information, and he was a registered sex offender in New York State when he committed the federal crimes.
According to court filings, between March and December 2023 Grunwald communicated over the internet and through social media with two children, soliciting sexually explicit videos and images from both. He first contacted a 14-year-old boy, identified as John Doe-1, on the messaging app Telegram, confirmed the victim was a minor, and solicited a sexually explicit picture from him. The boy later learned that Grunwald had sent the picture, without his knowledge, to a group chat. In June 2023 Grunwald began threatening the victim: on June 26 he wrote, 'You're still in trouble and remember what I said yesterday. Those boys told me something about you,' and the next day, after chasing the boy through his synagogue, he wrote, 'I am going to call your mother. I have her cell phone number. Good luck. I'm going to tell her everything.'
Grunwald also solicited sexually explicit pictures from a second minor boy, John Doe-2, exchanging thousands of messages with him on Instagram; he confirmed the boy was a minor but falsely claimed he was 18. Law enforcement seized multiple electronic devices from Grunwald containing additional child pornography depicting other minors.
Prosecutors noted two prior convictions for sexually abusing minors: in 2019 Grunwald was convicted of sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl in a synagogue and sentenced to 10 years' probation, and while that case was still pending he sexually abused a 13-year-old boy in exchange for a cell phone and the use of his debit card, pleading guilty to misdemeanor sexual abuse and receiving three years' probation. 'The defendant has demonstrated that he poses a grave danger to children. Today's sentence was necessary to protect the community from this recidivist menace for decades,' said U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr., who added that the prior state sentences of probation had failed to deter him. FBI Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle, Jr. said the sentence ensures Grunwald will spend the next three decades unable to victimize additional children.
The prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. The case was handled by the office's General Crimes Section, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincent Chiappini in charge of the prosecution, under docket No. 24-CR-19 (NRM).
