A 39-year-old Marblehead man, who is in the middle of an open child
pornography case, was arrested at his home Thursday and charged with
raping a child and further child pornography offenses related to the
case.
Marblehead resident Raymond DePaula, who is embroiled in a child
pornography and illegal weapons case, was arrested at his home
Thursday afternoon and charged with raping a child, along with
distributing and posing in pornographic photos with the child after
new images surfaced online earlier this month.
According to police reports released to the press, authorities have
acquired several images posted online that show DePaula, 39, in the
act of having sex with a young female. In total, there are 17 pictures
that show the child in "nude or sexually suggestive poses," according
to police.
Marblehead Sgt. Sean Brady said he was contacted by the Department of
Homeland Security, which was investigating an open child pornography
case involving DePaula, and was informed that new images were posted
online directly from a digital camera on June 6. That camera was found
in DePaula's home and retrieved by police, along with other evidence.
The images depicted DePaula, whom Brady positively identified, on a
bed in various sexual acts with a half-naked female child. Brady
described three of the images in graphic detail in his report.
Police obtained arrest and search warrants and showed up at DePaula's
home at 23 Puritan Rd. on Thursday around 4:30 p.m.
Brady, Sgt. Sean Sweeney, Lt. Mike Everett, officer Dean Peralta and
Homeland Security special agents Mike Carvalho and Greg Squire
confronted DePaula and he admitted that it was him in those photos
after first denying he (DePaula) had been sexually involved with a
child, said Brady.
DePaula was taken into custody and brought to the Marblehead Police
Station for booking prior to an arraignment in Lynn District Court
Friday morning.
According to police documentation, DePaula was held without bail. It
did not indicate whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty to the
charges.
Those charges are aggravated rape of a child under 16, indecent
assault and battery on a child under 14, disseminating child
pornography and posing a child for sexual photographs.
Prior to his court hearing, police say DePaula admitted to them that
he performed sexual acts on the girl, whom he believed was six years
old at the time (a few years ago). He denied that the girl performed
sexual acts on him.
On some details, he told police he didn't clearly remember because he
was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana at the time and
claimed that only happened once.
DePaula told police he was never sexually involved with any other
child and said another female, presumably an adult related to the
child, was at her home at the time and he believed she was unaware of
what had occurred.
According to police, DePaula denied posting the images online. "[He]
claimed that someone must have stolen his SD card from the camera,
posted the pictures and then returned the SD card to the camera
without his knowledge," Brady said.
He told Brady he only uploaded the images to his computer and then
deleted them at a later date.
The case against DePaula had until now only dealt with possession of
child pornography, along with unregistered guns and marijuana.
