Marcobrien S. Volcy, 28, of Rochester, New York, has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography after a previous conviction for a similar offense under New York State law. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo. Volcy entered his plea before Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.
