ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Ian Milam, 37, of Pittsford, NY, who was convicted of receipt of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 168 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Charles J. Siragusa.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meghan K. McGuire and Melissa M. Marangola, who handled the case, stated that Milam was a math teacher at Cosgrove Middle School in the Spencerport, NY, School District. On January 29, 2023, Milam created the Snapchat accounts “matteckler” and “mikeywikey37,” and used these Snapchat accounts to pose as a 15-year-old male and engage in sexually explicit communications with a number of minor females, ages 11 to 15-years-old. During one of these conversations in May 2023, Milam persuaded a 12-year-old minor student to take and send him naked pictures of herself.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Greece Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Wood, the FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia, and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Todd Baxter.
