A 32-year-old Pawtucket man is facing a lengthy prison sentence after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, including hundreds of images and videos of child sexual abuse material.
According to a press release from the US Attorney’s Office, David P. Correira, 32, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Providence to one count of possession of child pornography. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, followed by a term of supervised release of at least 5 years and up to life.
Prosecutors say Correira possessed hundreds of images and videos of child sexual abuse material, which were discovered during a search of his electronic devices. The disturbing content includes child pornography, which is a serious threat to the safety and well-being of children.
“This conviction demonstrates our commitment to protecting children from exploitation and abuse,” said United States Attorney Charles C. Calenda. “We will continue to work tirelessly to identify and prosecute those who engage in this heinous behavior.”
Correira’s guilty plea brings an end to the investigation, which was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Providence Child Exploitation Task Force, the Rhode Island State Police, and the Pawtucket Police Department.
The case is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of child pornography on victims and their families. It is a crime that can have long-lasting effects on those who are exploited, and it is a crime that will be taken seriously by law enforcement.
Correira is scheduled to be sentenced on [date] before U.S. District Court Judge [judge’s name]. He remains in custody pending sentencing.
