Description: Syracuse, New York criminal law lawyer represented Defendant charged with sexually exploiting a child and distributing and possessing child pornography.

Jeremie Hoyt, age 42, of Davenport, New York, admitted that he used a child to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of that conduct, and that in August of 2019 and November of 2020 he produced a sexually explicit photograph and video of the child. Hoyt further admitted that he later distributed the sexually explicit image and video over the Internet to other users on a messaging application and that he still possessed the sexually explicit image and video on his iPad when law enforcement searched his home in April 2021.

United States District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby also imposed a 30 year term of supervised release, which will start after Hoyt is released from prison, and ordered Hoyt to pay a $500 special assessment. Hoyt will also be required to register as a sex offender.

Hoyt’s case was investigated by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Investigators of the New York State Police, Computer Crimes Unit (CCU), and the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey J. L. Brown as a part of Project Safe Childhood.

Outcome: The defendant was sentenced on Counts 1 through 5 of the Information to a term of imprisonment of 300 months on each of Counts 1 through 4, and 120 months on Count 5, all such terms to be served concurrently, and a term of supervised release of 30 years on each of Counts 1 though 5, to be served concurrently, with standard and special conditions of supervision imposed. The Court recommends as a first priority that the defendant participate in sex offender and substance abuse treatment, and as a second priority be designated to a facility closest to home in Delaware County. The defendant does not have the ability to pay a fine or the additional special assessment, therefore, all are waived. A special assessment of $500 is imposed and due immediately. The defendant shall forfeit the items outlined in the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture. Defendant is remanded to the custody of the USMS.
