Two sentenced in Chenango County Court
NORWICH— A convicted sex offender and forger were sentenced at Chenango County Court by Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr. last Friday, Nov. 10.
• Darren L. Pollock, 28, of Norwich was arrested in February 2014 for five counts of promoting a sexual performance of a child, class D felonies and five counts of possessing a sexual performance of a child, class E felonies.
He was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on a $5,000 cash bail. Pollock later posted bail.
Pollock was charged with the child sex crimes following an in-depth joint investigation by the New York State Police, Norwich City Police Department and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force alerted the NYSP and NPD to a hit they received in Albany suggesting someone was involved in child pornography. The task force was created in response to an increasing number of underage victims online.
After local authorities were informed about Pollock, his computer was seized and searched before he was charged.
Pollock pleaded guilty to possessing the sexual performance of a child.
Revoir said he took into consideration the fact Pollock was a U.S. Army veteran, that he is working on the things that led him to be charged with child sex crimes and the “negatives and positives” of the situation.
“You know what you can and can't do in the future,” said Revoir.
Pollock's bail was exonerated.
Pollock was sentenced to two and one-third years to seven years indeterminate sentence in prison and 10 years of probation. He must also register as a sex offender and pay $1,425 in fines after he is released.
• Robert C. Bryant, 32, Sherburne, was charged this past June with forgery in the second degree, a class D felony; grand larceny in the fourth degree, a class E felony; and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, a class E felony.
Bryant pleaded guilty to forgery in the first degree. He is currently remanded at the CCCF.
The defendant said he put himself in a psychiatric ward in Maryland, before coming to central New York in order to get clean from his drug addiction.
“Judge, this was a crime of opportunity. The victim left his wallet in the driveway and the defendant kept it rather than returning it,” said First Assistant District Attorney Michael D. Ferrarese.
Ferrarese said Bryant was a neighbor of the victim and found the wallet. Bryant filled up his sister's car with gasoline and bought groceries. He spent a total of $94.99.
“He was remorseful. Hopefully he will make better choices,” added Ferrarese.
Revoir told Bryant that theft does not just occur in stores or someone's home.
Revoir said, “It takes place whenever we take something that does not belong to us.”
Bryant was sentenced to nine months in the Chenango County Correctional Facility, less time served.
