Registered Sex Offender Sentenced on Child Pornography Charges, Violating Terms of Supervised Release

PROVIDENCE, RI – A Burrillville man has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison for possessing child pornography and violating the terms of his supervised release, announced United States Attorney Zachary A. Cunha.

Court documents detail that in November 2013, Jaymeson Delgizzi, 31, was convicted in Hickman County, TN, 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. Despite taking up residency in Rhode Island, Delgizzi failed to register as a sex offender, as required, 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 that a Google account belonging to Delgizzi was being used to upload images of child pornography. On January 17, 2024, a search warrant executed at Delgizzi’s residence uncovered both images and videos of child pornography in Delgizzi’s possession.

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

This Project Safe Childhood case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra R. Hebert. The 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.
