Concord Man Arrested On 3 Possession Of Child Sex Abuse Images Charges

CONCORD, NH — A man from Concord was arrested Monday on felony child sexual abuse image charges after a multi-month investigation by several law enforcement agencies.

In late July, Concord police and the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force requested a warrant and searched a manufactured home on Crestwood Drive. While specifics were not released, Deputy Chief John Thomas of the Concord Police Department said the department’s computer crimes unit, the task force, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children spent months investigating the case.

About three weeks after the search, Jonathan Harrison, 31, of Crestwood Drive in Concord, was arrested on three felony counts of possession of child sex abuse images charges. He refused bail on Monday and was held at the county jail. Harrison is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Concord District Court.

Thomas said the Maine State Police also assisted with the investigation. State troopers there “initially located and interviewed” Harrison on July 30, he said.

Thomas said the Concord Police Department was continuing with its investigation and asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Det. Dana Dexter of the Criminal Investigations Division at 603-225-8600.
