Rep. Claudia Tenney Working To Help Race Tracks 

GOP Congresswoman Claudia Tenney is trying to get legislation passed to extend tax breaks for racetracks, large and small.  “The Oswego Speedway and Watkins Glen are just a few of many racetracks located in Upstate New York that have provided our region with family fun, quality jobs, and economic opportunity," Tenney said.  "The Motorsports Fairness and Permanency Act will sustain the long-term financial health and competitiveness of motorsports facilities by making the seven-year cost recovery period permanent, providing the industry the reassurance it needs to thrive and grow. Motorsports venues require continual investments to maintain infrastructure, incorporate the newest safety upgrades, and improve the fan experience. A shorter depreciation schedule provides the financial flexibility necessary to make these investments. Doing so will ensure this American pastime continues to generate jobs and boost our economy," said Congresswoman Tenney.

 

Hornell Man Facing Child Porn Charges

From The U.S. Attorney's Office:

U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Stuart J. McHenry, 34, of Hornell, NY, was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with distribution and receipt of child pornography, which carries a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum of 20 years, and a fine of up to $250,000.   Assistant U.S. Attorney Katelyn M. Hartford, who is handling the case, stated that according to the complaint, on July 5, 2024, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received a CyberTip from the instant messaging application Kik, which stated that Kik user “acman990,” uploaded approximately 24 files of suspected child pornography. A review of the files found that approximately 22 of the files constituted child pornography, which he sent to other users via private message. Subsequent investigation traced the account to the defendant.

 

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that McHenry works as a deputy for Steuben County Sheriff’s Office. On October 18, 2024, investigators seized two cellular telephones during the execution of a search warrant at McHenry’s Hornell residence. A forensic review of one of the phones determined that Kik was previously installed on the phone and located evidence of use of the Kik username acman990. A review of McHenry’s iCloud account recovered a number of sexually explicit conversations and child pornography on Kik, including the videos reported in the CyberTip as well as additional videos and images of child pornography.

 

McHenry made an initial appearance this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark W. Pedersen and was held pending a detention hearing.

 

The complaint is the result of an investigation by the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Kevin Sucher, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia, and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Jim Allard. 

 

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
