SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A Jefferson County woman was sentenced Friday to 90 years in federal prison for sexually exploiting and abusing children with her husband in a home that a prosecutor once described as "a house of horrors."
The woman's husband, Clif Seaway, 61, of Granby, was sentenced in early May to 360 years in prison.
The couple engaged in sex with children for years, often taking photos and making videos, prosecutors said. One victim was sexually abused beginning when she was 11 days old through age 9, prosecutors said.
Clif Seaway, 61, of Granby, was sentenced on May 3, 2018 to serve 360 years in prison for sexual abuse of children and sexual exploitation of children.
Tammy M. Martin, 48, of Carthage, pleaded guilty and admitted to the following:
She and Seaway on four occasions in 2002 engaged in sexually explicit conduct with a victim, producing at least 30 files depicting the child engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
She abused a second victim on at least 14 separate occasions from 2001 through 2007, producing at least 104 files depicting that abuse.
She and Seaway on at least 26 occasions from 2004 through 2008 engaged a third victim in sexually explicit conduct, producing at least 211 separate files of that abuse.
Prosecutors have said that Seaway groomed very young children with whom he had regular contact to engage in sex acts with him and his wife, Martin, or his girlfriend, Tammy LaMere.
LaMere, 46, of Granby, has also pleaded guilty to federal sex crimes. She faces up to 60 years in prison.
"Over a seven year period, Tammy Martin and Clif Seaway sexually exploited three children, and the 90-year sentence imposed reflects the depravity and gravity of those crimes," said U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jaquith said in a news release Friday.
At Seaway's sentencing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa Fletcher said "Clif Seaway ran his home like a house of horrors."

Martin was sentenced to serve the maximum sentence allowable under federal law, consisting of 30 years of imprisonment on each count of conviction to be served consecutively to one another, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Martin's case was investigated by the New York State Police, and the United States Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lisa Fletcher, Project Safe Childhood Coordinator for the Northern District of New York, and Carina Schoenberger.
