Joseph O’Bryan, a 30-year-old man from Clintondale, New York, has pleaded guilty to promoting a sexual performance of a child and faces one and a third to four years in prison. He was arrested on October 15, 2020, after State Police executed a search warrant at his residence and found files of child sexual abuse on his phone. It was discovered that O’Bryan had shared some of these files with other individuals. His sentencing is scheduled for May 31.
The Ulster County District Attorney’s Office is urging New Yorkers to report any suspected cases of child abuse, exploitation, or human trafficking. Reports can be made to local police agencies or by calling the NYS child abuse hotline at (888) 373-7888 or 1-800-342-3720. This case highlights the importance of staying vigilant and speaking up when there are concerns about the safety and well-being of children in the community.
Child sexual abuse is a serious crime that can have long-lasting effects on the victims. By reporting suspected instances of abuse, individuals can help protect vulnerable children and prevent further harm from occurring. It is crucial for the community to come together and take action to ensure the safety and protection of all children.
The sentencing of Joseph O’Bryan serves as a reminder that those who engage in the promotion of child sexual abuse will be held accountable for their actions. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are dedicated to investigating and prosecuting individuals involved in these crimes to ensure justice is served and to prevent future instances of abuse from taking place.
As the case against Joseph O’Bryan moves forward, it is essential for the community to continue to raise awareness about the prevalence of child sexual abuse and the importance of reporting any suspicions or concerns. By working together and supporting victims, we can create a safer environment for all children and hold perpetrators accountable for their crimes.
