A former senior state parole officer who supervised sex offenders pleaded guilty on kiddie-porn charges in Brooklyn federal court yesterday, authorities said.
James Leone, 50, was arrested at his Long Island home in September after federal agents searched his computer and found photos and videos of children being abused, according to court documents.
Leone pleaded guilty to accessing child pornography with intent to view.
The images Leone downloaded depicted girls 10 or 12 years old being sexually abused by their parents and brother, according to court documents.
Leone remains in home detention on $500,000 bond, court documents and Nardoza said.
A woman who answered the phone at Leone’s home in Bethpage said he wasn’t there, and that “I don’t think he’s going to be talking to any reporters today.”
