Barry "Stacie-Marie" Laughton, a former Democrat state representative in New Hampshire, admitted to involvement in the creation of child sexual abuse material. He was previously indicted on three counts of child exploitation in the fall of 2023.

According to WMUR, Laughton's former "partner" Lindsay Groves took explicit photos of children between ages three and five at the daycare she worked at in Massachusetts in 2022. She then sent them to Laughton, who via text message expressed a desire to abuse them.
