Matthew Ormon, a 51-year-old Quincy man, was sentenced to five years in prison and five years of supervised release for receiving child pornography yesterday. He was discovered to have numerous videos of child pornography after the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Quincy Police Department conducted an investigation into his residence in April 2022 according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts press release.

An investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Quincy Police Department resulted in Ormon's sentencing. Searches in his residence in April 2022 uncovered multiple electronic devices containing folders filled with child pornography. Ormon pleaded guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography in July.

The prosecution comes under the scope of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in 2006. The project unites federal, state, and local authorities to effectively dismantle child exploitation rings, prosecute offenders, and offer assistance to victims.
