纽约州 Conesus 男子制作与持有儿童色情内容认罪 面临最低15年监禁
Rochester—美国司法部纽约西区联邦检察官办公室11月9日公布，现年40岁、住在纽约州 Conesus 的 Donald Coty 当日在联邦法院认罪，承认制作与持有儿童色情内容。
据该办公室公布，Coty 是在联邦法官 Meredith A. Vacca 前认罪。相关罪名法定强制最低刑为15年监禁，最高30年，最终刑期将由法院依法裁定。
此案源于2026年2月国家失踪与受剥削儿童中心收到的一条网络举报线索，称一个用户名为 Don Coty 的账号向 Google Photos 与 Google Drive 上传了疑似儿童色情文件。纽约州警追踪线索后锁定 Coty 与其妻子 Megan Coty，并于2026年6月23日搜查两人在 Marrowback Road 的住所，查扣硬盘、笔记本电脑与手机等13件电子设备。检方此前公布，其中一块硬盘初查有130万个影像文件，已检视的部分中逾17.4万个文件含疑似儿童色情内容。
本案由助理检察官 Melissa M. Marangola 起诉，调查由国土安全调查局与纽约州警负责。Coty 认罪后将等待法院量刑。

Conesus, New York Man Pleads Guilty to Production and Possession of Child Pornography
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Donald Coty, 40, of Conesus, New York, pleaded guilty in federal court on November 9 to production and possession of child pornography, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York announced.
According to the office, Coty entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Meredith A. Vacca. The charges carry a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years; the final sentence will be determined by the court.
The case began in February 2026, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a CyberTip reporting that a file containing suspected child pornography had been uploaded to Google Photos and a Google Drive account by a user named Don Coty. The New York State Police traced the tip to Coty and his wife, Megan Coty, and on June 23, 2026, executed a search warrant at the couple's Marrowback Road residence, seizing 13 electronic items including hard drives, laptops and cellphones. Prosecutors previously said an initial review of one hard drive recovered 1.3 million image and video files, of which more than 174,000 reviewed files contained suspected child pornography.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola and was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the New York State Police. Coty now awaits sentencing.
