Multi-Year Investigation Leads To Child Sexual Abuse Images Charges Against Nashua Man

NASHUA, NH — Police in Nashua arrested a man on felony charges last month after a multi-year investigation into child sexual abuse materials.

Sgt. John Cinelli, the public information officer and communications division supervisor for the Nashua Police Department, said detectives involved with the Cybercrimes Against Children Unit received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that materials were found in a Dropbox account.

Jeremy Clay French, 48, of Meredith Drive in Nashua, was “identified” as a “person of interest associated with the possession of the obscene material,” he said. A search warrant for his home was requested and approved, and several electronic devices were seized from his home, Cinelli said.

According to a court filing, detectives discovered MP4, MP3, and AVI video files featuring boys and men during the investigation, sometime in mid-December 2024. Cinelli said detectives then filed a warrant for French’s arrest on five felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse images.

French was arrested on April 30 and arraigned by video the next day. He entered five not guilty pleas. French was held on preventative detention. A probable cause hearing was held on May 7.

Anyone with information about the case was asked to call the Nashua Police Department Crime Line at 603-589-1665.
