LeRoy man sentenced to 10 years for new child pornography charge

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A LeRoy man was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison for a new child pornography charge after he was previously convicted for possession of child pornography, the United States Attorney’s Office announced.

Officials said in May 2023, Jordan Brodie, 37 and a convicted sex offender on active probation, became involved in a chat application where he and others traded child pornography. Brodie uploaded at least one of the images to a different platform, which then reported the image to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

An investigation found that the upload of the image took place from Brodie’s home in LeRoy, the attorney’s office said. During a search of his residence, investigators seized his phone and the contents of the social media account that posted the image.

Images of child pornography depicting children less than 12 years old, which included violence against children, were recovered from his phone and the social media account, officials said.

Brodie was previously convicted of a child pornography charge in May 2021 in Genesee County. He was being actively supervised at the time of this offense.
