BUFFALO, NY—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Timothy Kyle Survance, 21, of Amherst, New York, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara, to possession of child pornography. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 and a term of supervised release of at least five years and up to life. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie P. Grisanti, who is handling the case, stated that in January 2010, the defendant, possessed over 600 images of child pornography in his residence in Amherst, New York. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
