Attorney Meghan K. McGuire, who managed the case, noted that the content included children under 12 years of age and depicted violence. Hamilton had prior convictions in August 2016 and September 2017 in Steuben County Court for possessing a sexual performance by a child less than 16 years old.
The investigation leading to this sentencing was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York State Police, and New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
