Alton man indicted on child pornography charges

LACONIA — An Alton man has been indicted on multiple child pornography charges.

Gavin Duquette, 21, of Main Street, in Alton, was indicted on five charges of distribution of child sex abuse images, and five charges of possession of child sex abuse images.

Duquette’s indictments were issued by the latest session of the Belknap County grand jury.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather it is a finding by a grand jury that enough evidence of an alleged crime exists to warrant bringing a case to trial.

The child pornography distribution indictments allege Duquette uploaded files to a cloud-based, file-sharing server.

Duquette was also indicted on a charge of falsifying evidence. That indictment alleges Duquette altered and/or removed files from an external hard drive.

Others indicted were:
