Somers Man Pleads Guilty to Promotion of Child Sex Abuse Material

March 11, 2026

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced today that a Somers man has admitted sharing two video files containing child sexual abuse material.

Andrew Giannetta, 34, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of Promoting an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, a class D felony.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 9 before Acting State Supreme Court Judge Robert Prisco.

DA Cacace said: "Offenders who target children will be prosecuted with every resource at my office’s disposal, ensuring that underage victims remain protected from further harm and that dangerous predators are not able to reoffend. This is why I have tasked two specialized bureaus within my office to work day and night to detect, investigate and prosecute all forms of child sexual abuse.

"My office works collaboratively with all of our law enforcement partners to combat these heinous crimes, and I want to thank to the New York State Police for their investigatory work on this case in particular."

On or about Jan. 4, 2021, the defendant promoted a video file depicting an apparent child (approx. eight to ten years in age) engaging in sexual conduct by sharing that file with another user of the social media application Kik. On or about Nov. 22, 2023, the defendant promoted a video file depicting another apparent child (approx. three to six years in age) engaging in sexual conduct by uploading that file to Kik.

This case was initiated by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and was investigated by New York State Police, Troop K, Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Computer Crime Unit.

The case is being prosecuted by CSAM Bureau Chief Laura Forbes.
