Long Island Man Sentenced to Over 15 Years in Prison
for Distributing Child Pornography to Minors
LEV L. DASSIN, the Acting United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, announced that CARL LIEDKE, 62, of
Seaford, Long Island, New York, was sentenced today in White Plains
federal court by United States District Court Judge STEPHEN C.
ROBINSON to 188 months’ imprisonment for distributing child
pornography. According to court records, LIEDKE’s guilty plea, and
statements made during LIEDKE’s sentencing:
In early 2008 LIEDKE made contact, via a chat room called “I
Love Older Men,” with what he believed to be two different 15-yearold
girls. The “girls” were actually portrayed by an undercover
detective with the Westchester County Police. LIEDKE engaged in a
series of electronic and telephonic communications with the first
“girl,” during which he sent images of child pornography as well as
pictures of himself, and discussed his desire to have sex with the
“girl” at his home or at a hotel near her residence, a boat, or
while traveling. LIEDKE also had electronic discussions with the
second “girl” about her coming to his home to have sex with him.
LIEDKE was arrested at his home in Seaford, Long Island,
on May 8, 2008. At the time of his arrest, LIEDKE admitted that he
had contemplated having sex with the second “girl” and had bought
birth control pills and condoms that were found in his apartment
for his meeting with the “girl.” LIEDKE also admitted to chatting
online with at least two other girls he knew to be between the ages
of 14 and 16.
Mr. DASSIN praised the efforts of the Westchester County
Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Violent
Crimes Task Force in connection with this investigation.
Assistant United States Attorney ANNA M. SKOTKO is in
charge of the prosecution.
