Waltham Man Sentenced To Prison On Child Porn Charges

WALTHAM, MA — A Waltham man will serve almost six years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts said.

Robert Daigle, 48 was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton to 71 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. In June 2024, Daigle pleaded guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography.

On Jan. 11, 2022, approximately 10 electronic devices belonging to the Daigle were seized during a search of his residence. The majority of those devices were located in Daigle’s bedroom, officials said.

Daigle admitted to downloading hundreds to thousands of CSAM for approximately 20 years.

A forensic examination of one device was found to have approximately 1,100 child pornography images and approximately 900 child pornography videos. A second device was found to have approximately 380 child pornography images.
