Syracuse man admits raping girl, 10, to send pics to another ‘girl’ (who turned out to be a man)
Updated Apr 22, 2021;
Syracuse, NY A Syracuse child rapist, whose case caused a political stir in 2019, will spend at least two decades in federal prison after admitting Thursday that he abused a 10-year-old girl so he could exchange explicit images with another 15-year-old girl he found on the internet.
Austin Pratt, 24, will be sentenced to between 20 and 30 years in prison after his plea Thursday to child exploitation and pornography charges, federal prosecutors in Syracuse announced.
In a bizarre twist, though, the “15-year-old girl” who Pratt exchanged pornography with over Instagram turned out to actually be an adult man, federal prosecutors said.

Syracuse-area mail carrier charged with federal crime for not delivering mail
Updated Dec 14, 2020;
Syracuse, NY An Onondaga County mail carrier was indicted on a felony in federal court, accused of failing to deliver the mail.
Tanner Brown, 24, now of Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, “secreted, detained and delayed” mail in Onondaga County from Jan. 1 to July 24, 2019, according to the federal indictment.
It’s unclear from the indictment what federal agents believe Brown’s motive might have been. But mail carriers occasionally face charges from their federal employers for pocketing mail for a variety of reasons.
Prosecutors first attempted to contact Brown about the charges in late November. However, a copy of the indictment, sent to him through the mail, came back as “return to sender.”
