MILFORD – A man who lives in Milford has pleaded guilty to federal charges involving the transportation and possession of child sexual abuse material.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Joao Carlos Tavares Da Silva, a Brazilian citizen, was arrested in Milford in January after a search of his home allegedly uncovered material he had brought into the United States from Brazil on electronic devices. Authorities say the material included a child victim in Brazil.
Prosecutors say Da Silva also has an outstanding warrant in Brazil for statutory rape and several charges related to child pornography.
