A New Boston sex offender has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for receiving and possessing child pornography.
The investigation into 63-year-old Gerald Richard Sarkozi began in April 2024, after a mobile messaging app company provided the FBI in Massachusetts with information that a registered sex offender in Michigan had received child sexually abusive material dating back to January 2024.
FBI agents tracked down the account receiving the images and videos and confirmed Sarkozi’s identity by reviewing law enforcement databases, social media and administrative subpoenas.
The FBI executed a search warrant at Sarkozi’s house on March 26, 2025. While speaking with law enforcement, Sarkozi admitted he had a problem with child pornography and accessing it using his phone.
During a search of Sarkozi’s phone, FBI agents found at least 10 videos and 18 images of child pornography. According to court documents, some of the content included toddlers.
Sarkozi was previously convicted in 2013 for possessing child sexually abusive material.
