Anthony Rimas, Child Sex Abuse Material, New Hampshire 2020

New Hampshire Man Sentenced to 9 Years for Receipt of Child Sex Abuse Material

Anthony Rimas, 48, of Newton, New Hampshire, was sentenced to 108 months in federal prison for receipt of child sex abuse material, announced United States Attorney John J. Farley.

According to court documents and statements made in court, law enforcement officers with the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (NHICAC) were conducting online investigations into individuals using digital applications that share images of child sexual abuse material in October 2020. During the investigation, investigators uncovered evidence that Rimas received and possessed images and video files of child sexual abuse materials.

“Those who obtain and view child sexual abuse material are further victimizing the innocent children whose abuse is depicted in these images,” said U.S. Attorney Farley. “To protect young people from exploitation, we will continue to seek substantial penalties for those who commit crimes related to child sexual abuse material. Along with the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and our other law enforcement partners we are working tirelessly to hold these criminals accountable for their unlawful actions.”

Rimas previously pleaded guilty on September 2, 2021. After completion of his prison sentence, Rimas will be under 8 years of supervised release. The investigation was conducted by the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Nashua Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski.

In February 2006, the federal government introduced Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorney’s Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.

The case serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our children from online exploitation and abuse. The public is urged to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
