Warwick Man Sentenced to 140 Years in Federal Prison for Production of Child Sexual Abuse Material

PROVIDENCE - A Warwick man convicted of production and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) has been sentenced in federal court in Rhode Island.

Jeremy Giguere, 38, was sentenced on June 3, 2026, by U.S. District Court Chief Judge John J. McConnell, Jr., to 140 years of imprisonment to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release. Giguere pleaded guilty on December 11, 2025, to four counts of production of CSAM and one count of possession of CSAM.

According to court documents, in September 2024, the Rhode Island Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received a report regarding disturbing CSAM videos uploaded to Giguere's online photo storage account, linked to devices belonging to him. A state search warrant was executed at his residence on October 16, 2024. As a result of the search, almost five hundred CSAM videos and images were recovered from Giguere's personal devices. Law enforcement determined through diligent investigation that Giguere also produced videos of himself sexually abusing a minor child and uploaded those videos to the storage account.

"The sentence imposed in this case reflects the depravity of these offenses and the devastating harm caused by the sexual exploitation of a child," said First Assistant United States Attorney Charles C. Calenda. "By sentencing this predator to 140 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release, the Court has ensured that he will never again prey on an innocent child. Our message is clear: engaging in the sexual exploitation of a child will result in this Office using every resource at its disposal to ensure the end result is a very long sentence in federal prison."

"This sentence underscores the extraordinary gravity of this defendant's conduct and stands as a powerful reflection of the lifelong harm he inflicted on a child," said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New England Acting Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Grimming. "It sends a clear message that those who prey on children and create or trade in this kind of material will face the full force of federal prosecution. Homeland Security Investigations New England will continue to leverage every lawful investigative method and strengthen our partnerships at all levels of government to safeguard our neighborhoods and shield our most vulnerable from exploitation."

"I commend the investigators, forensic examiners, and prosecutors whose dedication and professionalism helped bring this case to a just conclusion," said Colonel Darnell S. Weaver, Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police and Director of the Department of Public Safety. "The lengthy sentence reflects the abhorrent nature of these crimes and our collective commitment to protecting children from exploitation."

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Julie M. White.

The matter was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Rhode Island State Police, the Rhode Island ICAC Task Force, and the Warwick Police Department.

Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the DOJ's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
