CONCORD - Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced today that a Rochester was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in 2015 the FBI was contacted by a New York firm that was in the business of producing canvas prints from photographs.

The firm had received a photograph of a minor in a sexually explicit pose as part of an order for a canvas print of the image.

The firm provided the FBI with contact information for the customer. Further investigation by the FBI resulted in the identification of Cory Danis, 29, as the customer who possessed the image that was sent to the New York business and who ordered the canvas print.

Danis, who pleaded guilty on Aug. 22, was also sentenced to 5 years of supervised release, which will begin after he is released from prison.

"The protection of children is one of the most important missions of law enforcement," said Farley. "Through Project Safe Neighborhoods, we will work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to combat child pornography and other crimes that exploit children."

"When children are sexually assaulted to produce photos, they are not just victimized once, but repeatedly revictimized through the online trading of their images," said Harold H. Shaw, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Boston Division. "It takes an engaged and attentive community to counter these threats to our most vulnerable, and the FBI would like to thank the concerned citizen who came forward to report these egregious acts and remind others of the importance of reporting these crimes to law enforcement."

The FBI conducted the investigation of this case with assistance from the Rochester Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Helen White Fitzgibbon and Assistant United States Attorney Donald Feith.

In February 2006, the Department of Justice introduced Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorney's Offices, 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 identify and rescue victims.
