Convicted sex offender charged with sex abuse of child held on million dollar bail
NORWICH - A Norwich man is facing felony child sex abuse charges and is being held on one million dollars bail, following an investigation by the New York State Police.
Patrick M. Kain, 33, of Norwich is charged with first-degree sexual abuse, promoting a sexual performance by a child, possessing a sexual performance by a child, and use of a child in a sexual performance.
According to a complaint from the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, Kain sexually touched a five-year-old girl and recorded it with his cell phone.
The complaint states that Kain left his cell phone in another person’s vehicle, where they viewed a video of sexual abuse, and recognized the child’s underwear and a baby blanket, along with Kain’s hand and bedroom.
It adds that on April 22, the New York State Police Computer Crimes Unit accessed the phone and discovered a video approximately 2 minutes and 57 seconds long which depicted what the other person had reported, along with several other videos.
The other videos are described in the document, which it states include videos Kain had recorded of children in the bathtub, of a naked minor recorded from outside a home, and it includes that Kain is a level one sex offender, convicted on May 23, 2014 of first-degree sexual abuse after contact with a victim less than 13 of age.
Representatives of the United State’s Attorney’s Office said if convicted Kain faces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 25 years, a maximum sentence of 50 years, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least five years and up to life.
Chenango County District Attorney Michael Ferrarese said Kain was arrested following an investigation in February, and bail was set at $100,000 cash, and $1 million bail bond or unsecured credit.
“Mr. Kain is in jail, our charges were filed in conjunction with the New York State Police,” said Ferrarese. “We informed the U.S. Attorney’s Office out of the northern district, and they have also filed charges federally.”
“It’s extremely important that we continue to protect our most vulnerable child victims from predators such as Mr. Kain.”
Ferrarese said if convicted on the top count locally, Kain could receive up to 25 years in prison. He added that if convicted on the federal charges, Kain could receive up to 50 years in prison.
“I am pleased that the U.S. attorney’s office is willing to step in and prosecute crimes of this nature,” said Ferrarese. “It is very fortunate for the citizens of Chenango County that the Chenango County District Attorney’s office as well as local law enforcement have established a working relationship with the U.S. attorney’s office.”
“I’m very appreciative in their cooperation in this matter.”
When asked if the Chenango County District Attorney’s Office would continue prosecuting the charges locally, Ferrarese said it would depend on if the federal government moves forward on their end.
“I’ll have to remain and wait and see what happens at the federal level before I make a determination,” he said.
