Taunton Sex Offender Caught Again with Large Collection of Child Porn
BOSTON — A Taunton man and registered sex offender with a previous conviction for possessing child porn has been indicted again, after authorities allegedly found hundreds of images of child porn in his house.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, 59-year-old Rudy Frabizio was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury in Boston for allegedly possessing a large collection of child pornography.
Law enforcement agents said they found at least 465 images and videos depicting child pornography during a search of Frabizio’s home on May 19.
Frabizio also allegedly uploaded child pornography to his Google account, according to court documents.
The U.S. Attorney's office stated that Frabizio is a registered Level 2 sex offender due to an April 2009 conviction for child porn possession.
He has been in custody since he was arrested and charged by criminal complaint in May.
The court has yet to schedule a date for arraignment.
Frabizio faces up to 20 years in prison, five years to a lifetime of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
Due to his prior conviction, Frabizio faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison, the office said.
