A registered sex offender from Dracut, Massachusetts, has been arrested and charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon. Tyler Bullock, 30, is facing one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
According to the charging documents, Bullock was identified as an individual who had, on several occasions, sent money to an India-based network in exchange for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). During a search of Bullock’s residence, Bullock allegedly admitted to soliciting and paying for CSAM. Forensic review of his devices is ongoing.
Bullock is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition as a result of a 2016 conviction for the Purchase or Possession of Child Pornography in Lowell District Court, for which he is a registered sex offender.
The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition provides for a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
Bullock was arrested on November 6, 2025, and is presently detained following an initial appearance in federal court in Boston.
The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. Bullock is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, and the United States Secret Service provided valuable assistance. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alexandra W. Amrhein and Eric L. Hawkins of the Major Crimes Unit are prosecuting the case.
