Shelton Man Enters Plea In Child Sexual Abuse Case: Feds

SHELTON, CT — A Shelton man has pleaded guilty after he was accused of sharing child sex images and videos, according to a statement from David X. Sullivan, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

DeLibro pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

In March 2024, a detective with the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit began an investigation "into the sharing of child sex abuse images and videos over a peer-to-peer file sharing network," according to the statement.

The investigation found that an IP address assigned to Delibro's Shelton home had been used to download child sex abuse videos.

Law enforcement search his home May 1, 2024, and seized his Apple MacBook Air, his iPhone, an external hard drive, and other items.

"Analysis of the seized items revealed image and video files depicting male children being sexually abused, including two images in which DeLibro appears engaging in sexually explicit conduct with a toddler," according to the statement.

He has been detained since he was arrested on related state charges June 11, 2024.

DeLibro will be sentenced Aug. 14. He faces between 15 and 50 years in prison.
