BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced Thursday that a Cheektowaga man was charged by criminal complaint with possession of child pornography.
In June 2019, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sent a cyber tip to the New York State Police, reporting that an image of child pornography was uploaded to their network. Further investigation traced the image to 47-year-old Michael P. Daly.
On Oct. 22, 2020, the New York State Police executed a search warrant at the home of Daly, seizing a laptop, flash drive, and iPhone.
A forensic search of the items turned up over 230,000 images and 95 videos of child pornography. Some of the images included prepubescent minors and violence.
Daly appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge and was released on conditions.
