In a shocking case of child exploitation, Philip Raymond, a 65-year-old man from Marlborough, Massachusetts, has pleaded guilty to 13 counts of sexual exploitation of children.
Raymond, who was arrested in October 2020 and has been in federal custody since, produced or attempted to produce child pornography involving 13 different children between 2004 and 2012.
A search of Raymond’s home in 2019 resulted in the seizure of various digital devices containing evidence that he had filmed his sexual abuse of two of those children. The digital evidence also showed that Raymond had set up a recording device in his child’s room and in his home’s bathroom to attempt to record imagery of children in the nude.
According to court records, Raymond is also facing charges in Middlesex Superior Court for child rape as well as possession of other child pornography discovered during the search of his residence.
Raymond pleaded guilty to 13 counts of sexual exploitation of children and attempt. U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns scheduled sentencing for Aug. 17, 2022.
The charging statute provides for a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years and up to 30 years in prison per count, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne Paruti, Chief of U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins’ Major Crimes Unit, is prosecuting the case.
