Bath Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Federal Child Porn Charges

A Steuben County sex offender has pleaded guilty to federal child porn charges.

Prosecutors say 39-year-old Benjamin Crout of Bath uploaded child porn files to a file-sharing service.

A raid of his hole last January turned up over 1,300 images and 40 videos, including some depicting infants and toddlers.

Crout was convicted of attempted sex abuse and possession of a sexual performance by a child in 2004.

He'll be sentenced on the new charges in January.
