Albany Man Sentenced to 120 Months for Receiving Child Pornography, With 15 Years of Supervised Release to Follow
ALBANY, New York — Gregory Conrad Puzio, also known as Tony G., 41, of Albany, New York, was sentenced on November 10, 2026, to 120 months in prison for receiving child pornography. First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III, Anthony Patrone, Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James announced the sentence.
As part of his earlier guilty plea, Puzio admitted that in February 2025 he used a messaging application to receive child sexual abuse material, including a video in which a child victim was sexually abused and beaten.
In late June 2025, Puzio was charged by local authorities with use of a child in a sexual performance and possessing a sexual performance by a child based on this conduct, but he was subsequently released on bond. After a federal complaint was filed on July 8, 2025, federal agents arrested Puzio, and he did not contest federal detention.
U.S. District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino also imposed a 15-year term of supervised release to follow Puzio's release from prison. As part of his plea agreement, Puzio agreed to forfeit the phone he used to receive child pornography.
Sarcone said Puzio traded in videos of children being sexually abused and beaten, and that after a New York State court released him, his office and its partners acted immediately to ensure he would not return to the community. Patrone of HSI said the 120-month sentence reflects the serious consequences for such conduct and the resolve of investigators to identify offenders and protect children.
The case was investigated by HSI and the New York State Police, with assistance from the United States Postal Service's Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua R. Rosenthal prosecuted the case as part of Project Safe Childhood. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
