BOSTON — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (USAO - Massachusetts), published as received.
BOSTON – A Holliston, Mass. man pleaded guilty on Oct. 27, 2026 in federal court in Boston to sexually exploiting a minor.
Wilson Fabian Mizhirumbay Granda, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of children. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs scheduled sentencing for Jan. 20, 2027. Granda was charged in September 2026 and is currently in Massachusetts state custody on an unrelated criminal case.
Between August and September 2023, Granda coerced a minor victim to travel to Massachusetts and engage in sexually explicit conduct. Granda met the minor victim on a social media site, knew she was underage and lied about his own age. Granada later recorded himself having sex with minor victim on a number of occasions.
Granda has prior state convictions in Hampshire Country Superior Court for rape of a child and enticing a child under 16, for which he was sentenced in May 2024 to four years and one day in state prison to be followed by five years of probation. Currently, Granda also has pending charges in Norfolk County for rape of child with force, rape of child and enticing a child under 16 related to another minor.
The charge of sexual exploitation of children provides for a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

Valuable assistance was provided by the Holliston, Scituate (R.I.), Amherst, Westminster, Medway, Worcester, Millis and UMass Lowell Police Departments; and the Middlesex County, Hampshire County, Northwestern County, Norfolk County and Worcester County District Attorney’s Offices.
