Henry C. Albrecht, Jr., age 54, of Forestport, New York, admitted that, from at least May 2021 through February 28, 2023, he received child pornography images and videos using social media messaging applications and from another adult who gave him a flash drive with child pornography files saved onto it. Albrecht admitted further that, in December 2022, he had a live video call with another adult and shared his screen with that person and presented multiple videos of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Albrecht also possessed more than 2,500 files of child pornography on various devices on the day of his arrest.

In addition to imposing a 15-year term of imprisonment, United States District Judge David N.

Albrecht also was ordered to forfeit to the United States the electronic devices he used to commit the offenses.
