BOSTON – A North Attleboro man pleaded guilty this week to child pornography offenses.
Nicholas Robillard, 40, pleaded guilty to one count each of distribution and possession of child pornography. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled sentencing for March 18, 2021. Robillard was indicted in October 2019.
Robillard distributed and possessed child pornography on various dates between Oct. 16, 2018 and Feb. 14, 2019.
Robillard has been convicted on rape and multiple indecent assault and battery charges on a child under 14 years of age.
Based on his prior record, Robillard faces a minimum sentence of 15 years and up to 40 years in prison on the charge of distribution of child pornography, and a minimum of 10 years and up to 20 years in prison on the charge of possession of child pornography. Both offenses provide for a minimum of five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
