PROVIDENCE – A Burrillville man has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison for possessing child pornography and violating the terms of his supervised release, according to a release this week from United States Attorney Zachary Cunha.
Jaymeson Delgizzi, 31, was sentenced on Wednesday, Dec. 11 by U.S. District Court Judge Mary McElroy to 120 months in federal prison to be followed by ten years of supervised release.
Court documents note that in November 2013, Delgizzi was convicted in Hickman County, Tenn. for aggravated sexual assault on a minor. He was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment and ordered to register as a sex offender. In January 2023, after he had been released on parole following his term of incarceration in Tennessee, Delgizzi cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and traveled to Rhode Island.
After taking up residency in Burrillville, Delgizzi failed to register as a sex offender and was charged for that offense. In October 2023, he was convicted of violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, and sentenced to five years of federal supervised release.
In November 2023, while on federal pretrial release, the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received information from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children that a Google account belonging to Delgizzi was being used to upload images of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. On January 17, 2024, a search warrant executed at his residence uncovered both images and videos of child pornography in Delgizzi’s possession.
Delgizzi pleaded guilty in September to two counts of possession of child pornography.
The matter was investigated by the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
