Seabrook Man Charged with Possession of Images of Children

A Seabrook man is facing more than two dozen charges for allegedly possessing and distributing child sex abuse images.

Lance Knowles, 33, of Seabrook, was indicted this month by a Rockingham County grand jury on 13 charges of alleged possession of child sexual abuse images and 12 counts of distribution of child sexual abuse images.

The indictments allege Knowles possessed and distributed images of female children under the age of 18 engaged in illegal sexual activities.

Possession of child sex abuse images is a Class A felony punishable, if convicted, by 7½ to 15 years in prison and a $4,000 fine per count.

The charge of distribution of child sexual abuse images, for the sale, exchange, or transfer of images carries a possible sentence of from 10 to 20 years in prison, according to court documents.
