NH man accused of trying to meet up with children, possessing child porn held without bail

A New Hampshire man is facing child pornography charges after police allegedly found pornographic images of children in his Grantham home Thursday, officials said.

The investigation began when a cyber tip was sent in from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children which alleged that a computer in a Butternut Road residence had been illegally used to download or distribute photos of prepubescent children being sexually abused, according to a release issued by state police.

After investigating, police carried out a search warrant at the home belonging to Ricardo Vera and allegedly found five images within. They believe he may have used various social media accounts to communicate with and potentially make in-person contact with children.

Vera travels to Mississippi and Florida frequently and is known to have lived in Texas in 2017 and New Jersey from 2007 to 2014.

He appeared before a judge in Sullivan County Superior Court on Friday and was detained.

Authorities are urging parents whose children may have come into contact with Vera to have a conversation about his behavior toward them.

Anyone who believes their child may have been abused is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Michael McLaughlin at 603-419-0130 or by email at Michael.McLaughlin@dos.nh.gov or Detective William Neilsen at 603-0931-0854 or by email at William.Neilsen@dos.nh.gov.

The investigation into this matter is still ongoing.

Additional charges are anticipated pending forensic analysis of the digital evidence seized.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfiel...

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his a...

After court victories, Michael Jackson estate eyes revival

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Michael Jackson’s musical legacy never left, but a kind of comeback is coming. With a series of court victories that bring the end to serious legal crises, with a Broadway show beginning and a Cirque du Soleil show returning after a long pandemic pause, the Jackson business is on the upswing 12 years after the pop superstar’s death. Very recently, things looked grim. The 2019 HBO documentary “  Leaving Neverland  ” raised child molestation allegations anew. The once-dead lawsuits brought by the two men featured in it had been  revived  by changes in the law. And a decision in the estate’s appeal of a $700 million tax bill was taking years to arrive. “I was always optimistic,” John Branca, the entertainment attorney who worked with Jackson through many of his biggest triumphs and now serves as co-executor of his estate, told The Associated Press in an interview at his Beverly Hills home. “Michael inspired the planet and his music still ...
