Today in Boston’s federal courthouse, Joshua Morency, 28, of Dorchester was sentenced to 78 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Earlier this year, Morency pleaded guilty to one count of dealing in firearms without a license and one count of possessing a machinegun.
According to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office,
In August 2025, an investigation of Morency began for unlawfully distributing firearms in the Boston area. Over the course of the investigation, Morency sold 17 firearms in undercover controlled purchases. The majority of the firearms purchased from Morency were 3D-printed, privately made firearms (commonly known as “ghost guns”).
Morcency was sentenced by U.S. Senior District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton.
