Albany man gets 10 years in prison for receiving child pornography By WNYT ALBANY, N.Y. (WNYT) — An Albany man was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after admitting he received child sexual abuse material. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, Gregory Conrad Puzio, 41, of Albany was sentenced to 120 months in prison for receiving child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. U.S. District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also ordered a 15-year term of supervised release after his prison term. Puzio admitted that in February 2025 he used a messaging application to receive child sexual abuse material, including a video showing a child being sexually abused and beaten. As part of his plea agreement, he also agreed to forfeit the phone he used to receive child pornography. In late June 2025, local authorities charged Puzio with use of a child in a sexual performance and possessing a sexual performance by a child based on the same conduct, but he was later released on bond. After a federal complaint was filed July 8, 2025, federal agents arrested him and he did not contest federal detention. The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the New York State Police (NYSP), with help 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.
