Thomas Andreozzi, Child Pornography Possession, Rhode Island 2022

A sex offender from Rhode Island has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.

Thomas Andreozzi, 60, of North Providence, was found to be using an IP address and at least five different accounts on a social media platform to upload child pornography in May 2020.

According to court documents, Andreozzi communicated to another person via the app that “I have lots of young stuff.” “I have little girls,” and “I have lots.”

Separately, in June 2020, the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Massachusetts ICAC that an individual in Rhode Island uploaded 14 files of child pornography.

Further investigation determined that the IP address used belonged to Thomas Andreozzi.

At the time of Andreozzi’s arrest in July 2020, a cell phone in his hand was found to be opened to an electronic media storage service. A Rhode Island ICAC analyst observed numerous files containing child pornography stored in Andreozzi’s storage account.

At sentencing today, Andreozzi, who pleaded guilty in August to possession of child pornography, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy to 120 months in federal prison to be followed by five years of federal supervised release.
