Agents from the Boston division of the FBI busted a man who was serving time on supervised parole for child pornography after being found to have more child pornography in his possession, Your Content has learned.

An Auburn man who is currently on supervised release for a child pornography conviction was arrested today for a child pornography offense.

Christopher Rondeau, 35, was charged by criminal complaint with one count of possession of child pornography.

Following an initial appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge David H. Hennessy, Rondeau was detained pending a detention hearing scheduled for Nov. 13, 2020.

According to the charging documents, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Rondeau’s residence and found a cell phone containing images and videos of child pornography hidden under a dresser in his bedroom. In 2016, Rondeau was convicted of receipt of child pornography and sentenced to 68 months in prison and seven years of supervised release. He was released from federal custody in August 2019 and is registered as a Level II sex offender in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
