KINGSTON, NY –Dylan Corsette, age 21, of Napanoch, pled guilty before the Honorable Bryan Rounds in Ulster County Court on February 23, 2024, to Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child, a Class E felony. The defendant faces a maximum indeterminate sentence of one and one-third to four years in prison.   

On May 17, 2023, the New York State Police executed a search warrant for the defendant’s cellular phone after receiving a CyberTipline Report. The defendant was found to be in possession of multiple videos and approximately 564 images containing materials showing sexual abuse of children. 

“The defendant was found to be in possession of extremely graphic and stomach-churning child sexual abuse material. This plea will ensure that this individual will now be registered as a sexual offender and be held accountable for his actions,” said Special Victims Bureau Chief Jenna Hastings. 

District Attorney Emmanuel Nneji commented that “possessing or promoting sexual performance by a child causes harm beyond what the title of the crime suggests. It often involves human trafficking and various manner of exploitation of children across the globe, along with threats of harm to their families and others. Each arrest and conviction of this nature removes one of those who provide the incentive for sexual exploitation and abuse of children." 

Sentencing is scheduled for May 1, 2024, before the Honorable Bryan Rounds.  

The case was prosecuted by Special Victims Bureau Chief Jenna Hastings. The defendant was represented by John Raimondo of the Law Offices of John A. Raimondo, P.C., Elmsford, NY.
