PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The top federal prosecutor in Rhode Island says a man who used the Wi-Fi network at a restaurant to access child pornography was arrested Tuesday.
Vincent Siravo was charged with possessing and distributing child pornography.
A state task force first detected a device accessing child pornography on a restaurant’s internet in 2017.
In October, they again detected someone accessing child pornography and responded to find 40-year-old Siravo. Siravo was convicted in 2008 of possessing child pornography and is a registered sex offender who is supposed to limit his use of the internet.
An email to Siravo’s attorney was not returned.
