A Wareham man has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography in federal court.
David St. Jacques, 56, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography in U.S. District Court in Boston on September 24, 2021.
St. Jacques was charged by criminal complaint in September 2020 and has been in custody since his arrest. He was subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2020.
A search of St. Jacques’s residence on September 29, 2020 resulted in the seizure of a computer, three phones, and one thumb drive. St. Jacques destroyed at least two other drives and attempted to destroy one of his phones when agents arrived to execute the warrant.
During the forensic review of devices that were still intact, child pornography was discovered. St. Jacques admitted to exchanging child pornography with other individuals on various chatting applications.
In March 2009, St. Jacques was convicted in Plymouth County Superior Court of several counts of dissemination and possession of child pornography.
Due to his prior felony conviction, St. Jacques faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and up to 20 years in prison, 5 years and up to life of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.
