AUBURN (AP) — Police say they’ve charged the publisher of a Maine magazine with possessing child pornography.
The Maine Department of Public Safety said Thursday that 38-year-old Joshua Shea was arrested at his Auburn home. The department says they found hundreds of sexually explicit images of a child under the age of 12 on his computer.
Shea posted bail of $500 on Thursday. Terms of his release say he cannot have contact with children under the age of 18.
Shea is the publisher of Lewiston Auburn Magazine. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
