Lockport man admits to distributing child pornography

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A Lockport man pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography after sending sexually explicit photos and videos to someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Officials said 52-year-old Gerard Dzierzanowski communicated with an undercover officer posing as a 13-year-old on Whisper and Kik in February 2023. Dzierzanowski sent the officer videos depicting a prepubescent girl engaging in sexual activity with a man, as well as images of child pornography.
