New York times-bestselling novelist arrested on child porn charges > 자유게시판

A New York Times best-selling author, who co-wrote thrillers with James Patterson, has been arrested on child porn charges. 

Brendan DuBois, 64, was arrested on Wednesday in New Hampshire and charged with six counts of child pornography possession.

Exeter Police and the Internet Crimes Against Child Task Force began an investigation into him in March after Google reported someone had stored 'apparent child pornography' in a Google Drive account.

Authorities obtained a search warrant and raided his home before he surrendered himself to police on Wednesday. 

DuBois, who has co-authored nine books with Patterson, is being held in the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood ahead of his arraignment.

Police were alerted to the child pornography by Google and downloaded the images which showed kids posing suggestively or engaging in teen sex video acts with adults.

They tracked down the IP address of the user and were led to DuBois' home on May 7.

He declined to speak to authorities at the time of a search warrant but his wife Mona Pinette told police they used separate computers and had a password on their Wi-Fi so people outside could not use it, according to an affidavit. 

She added that they were the only ones in their home when the pictures were downloaded. 

Severn River Publishing, which published 12 of his books, has removed his biography and references to the novels from its website. 

'We are deeply disturbed by the serious allegations against Brendan DuBois,' the company said.
