RI man gets 25 years for child porn after detectives tracked him down using Zillow

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A North Providence man has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison after admitting to producing child pornography involving a toddler, federal prosecutors said.

Larry Albino, 52, previously pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island.

Investigation began after national tip

The investigation began in September 2024 when the Rhode Island State Police received a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about child exploitation material being uploaded online.

Investigators determined that the IP address connected to the uploads was linked to Albino’s residence in North Providence.

Authorities said the account had been used to upload 10 videos depicting the sexual abuse of a child.

Evidence tied videos to suspect’s home

Detectives reviewing the videos noticed details inside the rooms where the abuse occurred. They compared those images with photographs from an online rental listing associated with the property where Albino lived.

Investigators said the furniture and room layouts matched what appeared in the videos.

Within about a day of receiving the tip, police obtained a search warrant and entered the residence. Inside the home, investigators found furnishings that matched the backgrounds seen in the videos. Authorities also noted footwear similar to sandals worn by the person shown in some of the recordings.

Victim known to defendant

Prosecutors said the child in the videos was a toddler who had a personal connection to Albino.

Officials also said Albino planned to distribute the recordings in order to make money.

Sentence includes lifetime supervision

The completion of his sentence will be followed by lifetime supervised release.

He was also ordered to register as a sex offender and pay $3,000 in restitution to the victim.
