New Hampshire Man Pleads Guilty to Transportation of Child Pornography
Daniel Murphy, 50, of Merrimack, in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, to transporting child pornography across state lines. Murphy pleaded guilty before U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young, who scheduled sentencing for Jan. 26 at 2:00 p.m. Murphy was arrested and charged in August 2026.
In August 2025, Murphy engaged in sexualized dialogue on Facebook Messenger with a minor victim living in Massachusetts. He coerced the victim to send pornographic videos and photographs and, in turn, sent obscene material depicting himself to the victim. Over the course of several days, Murphy also repeatedly traveled to meet the minor victim in person, transporting child pornography along with him. When Murphy's electronic devices were seized by law enforcement, they were found to contain pornographic images and video of the minor victim as well as additional videos and images of other minors constituting child sexual abuse material.
The charge of transporting child pornography provides for a sentence of no less than five years and up to 20 years in prison, at least five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Jeff Grimming, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England; Chief Mark Zimmerman of the North Reading Police Department; and Chief Brian K. Levesque of the Merrimack Police Department (N.H.) made the announcement. Valuable assistance was provided by the Nashua Police Department (N.H.). Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric L. Hawkins of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
