Registered Sex Offender In Worcester Sentenced For Child Porn Offenses

WORCESTER, MA — A man in Worcester has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for child pornography offenses.

Andres DeJesus, a registered sex offender from Worcester, was sentenced in federal court in Boston for possessing hundreds of files depicting child sex abuse material on Feb. 4. The 66-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography back in October, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The verdict came after DeJesus was arrested after arriving at Boston Logan International Airport from the Dominican Republic on Aug. 8, 2025. He had been refused entry into the DR because of his status as a registered sex offender, the USAO said.

Upon returning to Logan, his luggage was searched, and several articles of children's clothing and a large amount of chocolate and other sweets were found. Plus, a ZIP file on his phone had three videos containing child sex abuse material, according to the USAO.

Officials said that a later investigation of his phone revealed at least 600 pictures containing child sex abuse material.

In 2010, DeJesus was found guilty of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, possession of child pornography, and posing or exhibiting a child in a sexual act. At the time, he was sentenced to eight years to eight years and one day in state prison.

Now, he will serve 12 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release.
