New York Man Sentenced to 262 Months for Receiving and Possessing Child Pornography; Repeat Offender Ordered to Pay $26,000 in Restitution
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York announced that James Yerdon, 56, of Adams Center, Jefferson County, New York, was sentenced on November 9 in federal court to 262 months in prison for receiving and possessing child pornography. He was also sentenced to a 20-year term of supervised release, after which he will be required to register as a sex offender.
According to the office, Yerdon is a previously convicted sex offender. As part of his prior guilty plea, he admitted that on May 13, 2025, he possessed multiple images and videos of child pornography that he had downloaded from the internet, including material depicting the sexual abuse of children as young as five months old. He also possessed nude images of a 7-year-old child that he had created during a trip he took with the child to the Albany, New York area.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brenda K. Sannes imposed the 262-month sentence and the 20-year supervised release term, and ordered Yerdon to pay $26,000 in restitution to victims. First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III said the defendant not only sought out and accumulated child pornography online but also directly targeted children in the community. New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James said the State Police remain committed to their partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to intercept such offenders.
The case was investigated by HSI's Buffalo Field Office and the New York State Police and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Adrian LaRochelle as part of the Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood initiative. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
