Norfolk Superior Court Judge Paul Troy sentenced Vasconcellos to 2 ½ years in the house of correction on the first child pornography indictment, and 2 ½ years on and after that sentence on the second, with concurrent time on the other 21 counts. He ordered seven years probation on the dissemination charge.
Millis Police were contacted in February 2010 by someone who believed they had evidence Vasconcellos was in possession of child pornography, according to the DA's office. The Millis Police Department developed that information and served a search warrant, seizing Vasconcellos' laptop computer.
A forensic examination of the laptop by members of the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council, working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, found a substantial collection of videos depicting sexual assaults against children, according to the DA.
By using the Child Victim Identification Project, law enforcement identified 26 known child victims depicted in the videos, according to court documents.
"The Millis Police Department and their law enforcement partners in this investigation put together a very strong case and deserve credit for their professional work here," Morrissey said.
When Vasconcellos finishes his jail term, he will be required to undergo sex offender evaluation and conform to recommended treatment. He will need to register as a sex offender and will be on GPS monitoring. The judge also ordered that he abstain from using alcohol and drugs and submit to random chemical testing to assure his compliance.
