Bronx man pleads guilty to child pornography charge

BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Nasif Talukder, 24, of the Bronx, NY, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy to transferring obscene material to a minor, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.

According to the plea agreement, in March 2024, Talukder communicated with a 14-year-old girl on teen-chat.org. In the course of the communications, the girl told Talukder, "Also im 14." Talukder asked the girl to engage in sexual activity in exchange for $100. Talukder met the girl in a Tonawanda, NY, park. After engaging in sexual activity, he gave the girl $100.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Colleen M. McCarthy and Maeve E. Huggins. The plea is the result of an investigation by the Town of Tonawanda Police Department, under the direction of Chief Corey Flatau and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Philip Tejera.

Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date.
