Former Palmer Man Sentenced for Failing to Register as Sex Offender

BOSTON – Joshua Pelosi, 36, was sentenced to 37 months in prison and six years of supervised release for failing to register as a convicted sex offender. In October 2014, Pelosi pleaded guilty to two federal counts of failing to register as a sex offender.

Pelosi, after being released from prison in New York for failing to register as a sex offender, traveled from New York to Massachusetts and settled in the Commonwealth without notifying law enforcement authorities. In April 2014, Pelosi traveled from Massachusetts to South Carolina and once again failed to register as a sex offender.

United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and U.S. Marshal for the District of Massachusetts made the announcement. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant of Ortiz’s Springfield Branch Office.

The case is brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

Pelosi’s sentencing marks another success in the fight against sex offenders who fail to register. As a result of his actions, Pelosi will serve 37 months in prison and six years of supervised release.

The case against Pelosi serves as a reminder of the importance of notifying law enforcement authorities when an individual is released from prison. By failing to do so, Pelosi put himself and others at risk, and ultimately faced severe consequences.
