Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Lamarque, who is handling
the case, stated that according to the complaint, Seegar posed as a 16 or 17
year old boy and sexted 10-12 year old female students in a school in Niagara
County. The defendant used the Instagram profile “davidlissachi” to communicate
with the girls and ask them for sexually explicit photos. The complaint also
states that Seegar was found in possession of numerous photos containing child
pornography.
The defendant made an initial appearance today before U.S.
Magistrate Michael J. Roemer and was held pending a detention hearing on
October 5, 2018. The criminal complaint is the result of an investigation by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in
Charge Gary Loeffert, and the Lewiston Police Department, under the direction
of Chief Frank Previte.
