A former teacher in Western New York will spend the next five years in prison after being sentenced Thursday for possessing child pornography in federal court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Mango, who handled the case, stated that in April 2020, 41-year-old Anthony Giambrone, a former teacher with Erie One BOCES working at Maryvale Intermediate School, possessed images of child pornography on two separate laptop computers. Giambrone possessed approximately 1,052 images and 381 videos of child pornography, some of which included prepubescent minors.
On Thursday, Giambrone, of Kenmore, was sentenced to serve 60 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara. Giambrone was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $16,000 to victims in the case.
