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 an announcement by United States Attorney Zachary A. Cunha.

Court documents reveal that Jaymeson Delgizzi, 31, was convicted in November 2013 in Hickman County, Tennessee, for aggravated sexual assault on a minor. He received an 11-year prison sentence and was required to register as a sex offender. In January 2023, after being released on parole from his incarceration in Tennessee, Delgizzi removed his electronic monitoring bracelet and traveled to Rhode Island. Although he took up residence there, he failed to register as a sex offender as mandated and was charged by this Office for that offense. In October 2023, Delgizzi was convicted of violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) 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 about a Google account linked to Delgizzi being used to upload child pornography images. On January 17, 2024, a search warrant executed at Delgizzi’s residence uncovered both images and videos of child pornography in his possession.

Delgizzi pleaded guilty on September 17, 2024, to two counts of possession of child pornography. U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy sentenced him on Wednesday to 120 months in federal prison followed by ten years of supervised release.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra R. Hebert under Project Safe Childhood—a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice aimed at combating child sexual exploitation and abuse. The project coordinates resources from federal, state, and local levels to locate offenders who exploit children and rescue victims.

The investigation was conducted by the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
