A Lebanon man accused of involvement in child porn activity for nearly a year is in jail in Greene County.
41-year-old John Carpenter faces federal charges of knowing and receiving child pornography. An investigation into Carpenter’s activities began in 2019. He was subsequently arrested on December 23,2021.
He was first charged for child pornography in Connecticut after authorities found an IP address containing explicit sexual content of children at his mother’s home in Lebanon.
While Carpenter is being held in Greene County, he is set to stand trial in Laclede County on Tuesday, April 19.
