登记性犯罪者手机被指藏有儿童色情物品，纽约州 Saratoga 县男子被联邦起诉
美国司法部纽约北区联邦检察官办公室宣布，纽约州 Saratoga 县 Greenfield Center 的32岁男子 Brandon Quintana 被控持有儿童色情物品，已于11月3日在联邦法院出庭，目前被羁押，等待11月6日在联邦治安法官 Paul J. Evangelista 面前举行羁押听证。
针对 Quintana 的刑事起诉书指控，他在2026年7月30日前后，在自己的手机上持有儿童色情物品。Quintana 是一名登记在册的性犯罪者，其登记源于此前在州法院的一项定罪：促进未满17岁儿童的性表演。
第一助理联邦检察官 John A. Sarcone III 表示，又有一名被告自以为可以一再侵害儿童而不承担后果，国土安全调查局（HSI）的合作使 Quintana 将依法受到最严厉的起诉。HSI Buffalo 外勤办公室代理主管 Anthony Patrone 表示，持有儿童性虐待材料的行为会延续对脆弱儿童的剥削，HSI Albany 将与纽约州警反网络儿童犯罪部门及执法伙伴继续识别和调查涉嫌在网络上剥削儿童的人。
由于有前科，Quintana 所面临的指控可判处强制最低10年监禁、法定最高20年监禁，另可处罚款最高25万美元，以及至少5年、最长终身的监督释放；获释后他还须登记为性犯罪者。司法部强调，起诉书所载仅为指控，被告在被依法证明有罪之前推定无罪。

Registered Sex Offender in Saratoga County Charged With Possessing Child Pornography
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York announced that Brandon Quintana, 32, of Greenfield Center, in Saratoga County, New York, has been charged with possessing child pornography. Quintana appeared in federal court on November 3, 2026, and was detained pending a detention hearing scheduled for November 6, 2026, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul J. Evangelista.
The complaint filed against Quintana alleges that on or about July 30, 2026, Quintana possessed child pornography on his cellular phone. Quintana is a registered sex offender based on his prior state conviction for promoting the sexual performance of a child less than 17 years old.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III said another individual believed he could repeatedly victimize children and not face consequences, and that thanks to partners at Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Quintana will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Anthony Patrone, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the HSI Buffalo Field Office, said the alleged possession of child sexual abuse material perpetuates the exploitation of vulnerable children, and that HSI Albany and its law enforcement partners remain steadfast in identifying and investigating individuals who allegedly exploit children online.
Because of his prior conviction, the charge against Quintana could carry a mandatory minimum term of 10 years in prison and a statutory maximum of 20 years, along with a fine of up to $250,000 and a term of supervised release of at least five years and up to life; he will also be required to register as a sex offender upon his release. The charges presented are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case was investigated by HSI, the New York State Police, the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office and the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney A.J. Vickey is prosecuting the case as part of Project Safe Childhood. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York)
