ERIE, Pa. – A former resident of Erie, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of violating federal laws relating to the sexual exploitation of children.
Adam Gregory Ryzinski, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts.
Officials say Ryzinski “received and possessed tens of thousands of computer images and movies depicting prepubescent minors, as young as infants and toddlers, being sexually abused.”
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
A judge scheduled sentencing for June 24, 2021. The law provides for a total sentence of 40 years in prison, a fine of $500,000, or both.
