Multi-jurisdictional arrest made for child pornography

CONCORD, NH – On Nov. 26, the Concord Police Department arrested Austin Holton, age 29 from Concord, NH following a multi-month, multi-jurisdictional investigation.

In July the Concord Police Department was notified by Marshall County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Detective Les McFarland about a person believed to be in Concord, NH who had utilized online services to entice and solicit explicit content from juvenile females. A second complaint was made to Concord PD around the same time involving a similar allegation. A search warrant was executed, which led to the discovery of an additional juvenile victim in Belgrade, Montana. With the assistance of the Belgrade, Montana Police Department, the victim was located and interviewed.

As a result of the investigation, probable cause was established and an arrest warrant was issued charging Holton with seven counts of possession of child sexual abuse images, two counts of criminal solicitation for the manufacture of child sexual abuse images, and two counts of certain uses of computer services prohibited.

Holton was transported to the Concord Police Department where he was processed without incident. Holton refused the services of a bail commissioner and was transported to the Merrimack County House of Corrections. Holton is scheduled to be arraigned in the Concord District Court on November 27.

The Concord Police Department was also assisted in this investigation by the NH Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The Concord Police Department is asking anyone with information pertaining to this incident to please contact Detective Dana Dexter of the Computer Crimes Unit.
