Ipswich Man Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Offenses

BOSTON – Julien Toulotte, 24, pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston to distributing and possessing child pornography.

Toulotte was arrested and charged on February 18, 2022, and pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young scheduled sentencing for March 8, 2023.

In mid-January 2021, Toulotte began communicating with an undercover agent purporting to be a 15-year-old girl through social media applications. Toulotte sent multiple nude photos of himself and encouraged the purported teenager to send photos of herself in return and asked to meet.

In late-January 2021, Toulotte began communicating over the internet with the undercover agent, purporting to be an adult female with whom Toulotte had previously been communicating with online and to whom he had previously sent a child sexual abuse material photo (CSAM). In February 2021, Toulotte sent two videos depicting CSAM to the undercover agent purporting to be the adult female.

A search of Toulotte’s residences in Ipswich and Boston resulted in the recovery of his electronic devices that contained approximately 385 videos and approximately 320 images depicting CSAM – including child pornography videos of an infant as young as approximately two to four months old and children approximately two to four years of age.
