Randolph Man Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Offenses

BOSTON – A Randolph man pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to possessing and transporting child sexual abuse material.

Kesler Xavier Saget, 43, pleaded guilty to transporting child pornography and possession of child pornography. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled sentencing for Sept. 4, 2025. In August 2024, Saget was arrested and charged.

On Aug. 7, 2024, Saget traveled to Boston Logan International Airport from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. During a screening by border agents, child pornography was detected on Saget’s phone. Saget admitted to having child pornography on his phone and to receiving links with child pornography through various chat groups. A review of the phone also showed payments made by Saget in exchange for access to child pornography.    

The charge of transporting child pornography provides for a sentence of up no less than five years and up to 20 years in prison, five years to life of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of possessing child pornography provides for a sentence up to 20 years, five years to life of supervised release and a fine up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

This case 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. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
