Leah B. Foley United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts | Department of Justice
Scott Morrill, a 52-year-old resident of Uxbridge, was sentenced on March 13 in federal court in Worcester to 10 years in prison for possession of child sexual abuse material. The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman, also includes 15 years of supervised release following his prison term.
Morrill pleaded guilty to the charge in October 2025 after being arrested and charged in April of that year. The case highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to address crimes involving the exploitation of children.
According to court documents, Morrill used a Google account to store hundreds of images containing child sexual abuse material. Google detected the illegal content and notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which led to an investigation. Authorities found such material both in Morrill’s online account and on a computer at his home.
At the time he committed this offense, Morrill was already on federal supervised release following a 2013 conviction for distribution of child pornography, for which he had served five years in federal prison.
The sentencing announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Michael J. Krol, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England; and Colonel Geoffrey D. Noble, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police. The Uxbridge Police Department provided assistance during the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen Noto prosecuted the case.
This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 aimed at combating child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood brings together federal, state, and local resources to identify offenders and rescue victims.
