Steuben County parolee sentenced for having over 1,000 images and videos of child porn

BATH, N.Y. — A Steuben County man is going back to prison for possessing over 1,100 images and 87 videos of child pornography.

The FBI, New York State Police, and the state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision conducted the investigation that led to Hamilton’s sentencing.
