Derry Man Pleads Guilty to Distributing Child Sexual Abuse Materials Through Encrypted Online Network
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Hampshire announced that Joseph Baran, 56, of Derry, New Hampshire, has pleaded guilty in federal court to distributing child sexual abuse materials as part of a covert international online community. U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announced the plea, and U.S. District Judge Landya McCafferty has scheduled sentencing for February 15, 2027.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Baran was involved in the collection and distribution of child sexual abuse materials as part of a sophisticated, anonymous online network that operated in the United States and other countries.
The FBI identified Baran as a member of the network, and a subsequent search of his home and electronic devices confirmed his role in the crime.
The investigation was led by the FBI, with support from the Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Vicinanzo and Christopher Mignanelli are prosecuting the case, which was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood.
