Buffalo, N.Y. \u2013 Ronald Caryl, 26, of Silver Springs, NY, who was convicted of conspiracy to produce child pornography, was sentenced to serve 200 months in prison and 20 years supervised release by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.<\/p>\n
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Aaron J. Mango and Stephanie O. Lamarque, who handled the case, stated that on February 14, 2017, the defendant began communicating on MeetMe.com, a social networking service, with a 23-year-old woman in Nashville, Tennessee. During the conversation, the two began to discuss Caryl providing the woman with $300 to have sex with her. The woman wrote, \u201cjust $300 and u do what u want to me.\u201d The defendant replied, \u201cdo you have a young girl who could join I\u2019ll pay more\u2026you into young girls\u201d? The woman responded, \u201cas long as they r 18 and older,\u201d to which Caryl replied, \u201cYa I meant younger I\u2019ll pay 6000.\u201d The woman replied, \u201cI can\u2019t put things in her mouth she gets sick she\u2019s disabled.\u201d The defendant went on to say, \u201cshow me your daughter,\u201d and then the woman allegedly sent a picture to the defendant. Caryl continued to press the woman to send naked pictures of her one-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s mother was prosecuted by the United States Attorney\u2019s Office in the Middle District of Tennessee. She has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing in federal court in Tennessee.<\/p>\n
A MeetMe.com staff member identified the possible endangerment of a minor and illegal content and notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) who in turn notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe depravity of the conduct by both the defendant and the disabled infant\u2019s mother is unthinkable,\u201d stated U.S. Attorney Kennedy. \u201cChild predators, such as the defendant, belong in cages so they cannot continue to victimize children. Parents, such as the victim\u2019s mother, who fail to wrap their arms around their children in order to protect them in the face of such predators, deserve to have those arms handcuffed behind their back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
