HOLYOKE — A city man has been charged with charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that they had indicted Alfredo Aldeco, 35, on the two charges. The U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts alleges that Aldeco possessed one or more images of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor.
Aldeco appeared in federal court in Springfield on Tuesday. He is currently in federal custody in connection with another case, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Aldeco was arrested in 2014 after police alleged he took part in an armed robbery in Holyoke.
