BUFFALO, NY.- A 39-year-old Medina, New York, man and accused child sexual predator will remain detained after being taken into custody and charged in connection with allegedly possessing thousands of digital images and video files depicting the sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of prepubescent children.
According to U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo and charging information filed in the federal criminal complaint. In December 2019, Adobe Systems, Inc. reported that four digital images containing child pornography had been uploaded to Adobe’s servers from the username “Kyle Stack.”
Investigators Identify Stack
   During the ensuing investigation, investigators identified an IP address associated with a Bates Road address in Medina, New York. Further, investigators identified Kyle Stack, 39, as residing at the identified address.
In July 2020, investigators from the New York State Police executed a court-authorized search warrant at Stack’s Bates Road address.
During The Search Investigators Uncover Child Pornography
During the search, investigators seized six electronic devices, two of which were later found to contain digital images and video files depicting the sex exploitation and abuse of children. A forensic examination of Stack’s cellular phone uncovered a total of 4,822 digital images and 32 video files of child pornography, as well as 2,319 digital images and four video files of child erotica and 25 files containing animated child pornography.
A forensic review of Stack’s laptop also uncovered 3,476 digital images, eight animated digital images, 16 digital images of child bestiality and bondage, 5,930 video files, three animated videos, and 43 child bestiality and bondage video files.
Stack appeared for his initial appearance on Friday in Federal Court in Buffalo, New York, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy, who ordered him detained pending trial. If convicted at trial, Stack faces up to 20 years in federal prison, at least five years and up to life of supervised release and a $250,000 fine, or both. Any sentence imposed upon a finding of guilt would be determined by a U.S. District Court Judge based on the seriousness of the offense and Stack’s prior criminal history, if any.
“The rules of the federal court require us to include a statement that states: The charges outlined in this publication are merely accusations, and the defendant and or defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.”
