Former Hyde Park Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Child Pornography
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – A 66-year-old man, David Ladeau, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release for accessing child pornography, according to a federal court in Boston.
The defendant, Ladeau, pleaded guilty on February 18, 2022, to accessing child pornography. He was previously convicted of federal charges in Massachusetts in 2010 for possession of child pornography and later convicted of conspiracy to possess child pornography in the Middle District of Tennessee in 2015.
While on federal supervised release for those convictions, law enforcement identified images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on Ladeau’s court-monitored computer. A subsequent investigation determined that in January and February 2021, Ladeau had been using the computer to access child pornography saved on a thumb drive.
Ladeau was sentenced by U.S. District Court Chief Judge F. Dennis Saylor to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release. Additionally, he was sentenced to two years in prison for each of his two supervised release violations, which will run concurrently with the 10-year sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Dell’Anno of U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins’ Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case. The case is brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse.
Project Safe Childhood, launched by the Department of Justice in 2006, marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
