A New Britain man who recorded his sexual abuse of a child and was found in possession of thousands of child sexual abuse images and videos was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
Orlando Guzman, 74, of New Britain, was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in New Haven to 240 months in prison and a lifetime of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and possession of child pornography on Jan. 22, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
An investigation conducted by Homeland Security Investigations reportedly revealed that an account associated with Guzman was an active member of two private groups on an internet chat application that shared images and videos of child sexual abuse, court records show.
Investigators also learned that, between February and August 2022, Guzman reportedly sexually abused a minor female and used mobile devices to record and store images and videos of the abuse, according to court records.
On Sept. 2, 2022, investigators conducted a court-authorized search of Guzman’s mobile devices. “Analysis of the devices revealed more than 3,000 video files and more than 2,000 image files of child pornography, including images and videos depicting Guzman’s abuse of the minor victim,” court records show.
Guzman has been detained since his arrest on Sept. 7, 2022.
