Keene Man Arrested For Child Pornography, Indecent Exposure

KEENE, N.H. – A Keene man is charged with multiple felonies stemming from an online relationship he formed with a minor. 

Earlier today, June 14, members of the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, including detectives from the New Hampshire State Police, executed an arrest warrant for Harrison S. Chambers, 36, of Keene.

This investigation began in May following a report to the State Police, which alleged that an unidentified man had been using the social media app Snapchat to facilitate illegal contact with a person under 16. Through an ensuing investigation, Troop C detectives developed information that identified Chambers.

Chambers was taken into custody with the assistance of the Keene Police Department. He is currently charged with felony indecent exposure for transmitting lewd images to a child under 16, prohibited use of computer services, endangering the welfare of a child, possession of child sexual abuse material, and failure to comply with sex offender requirements. He is scheduled to appear in Keene District Court on Monday, June 17 for an arraignment and is currently being held on preventative detention.

While the investigation into Chambers’ contact with children is ongoing, additional charges are possible pending a forensic analysis of digital evidence seized during the investigation. 

Investigators are concerned Chambers used social media to communicate, and potentially make in-person contact, with other juveniles. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Detective Edward Horton at (603) 931-0660 or Edward.J.Horton@dos.nh.gov. The NH Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is dedicated to investigating, prosecuting, and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children.
