NEWBURYPORT, MA — A North Shore man was held without bail after an investigation into child pornography revealed he allegedly raped a child. Darryl Moore, 37, was arraigned Friday in Newburyport District Court on child rape and pornography charges, the Essex County District Attorney's Office said.

Moore was allegedly depicted raping a child in images found during an investigation into child pornography charges he was facing.
