Hudson Man Indicted for Obtaining Child Sexual Abuse Material

from Multiple Minor Victims

CONCORD - A Hudson man was indicted last week for inducing multiple minor victims to send him child sexual abuse material (CSAM), U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.

Robert Lemoyne, 54, was arrested on Thursday after being indicted by a federal Grand Jury on multiple counts of production of CSAM, as well as counts of CSAM distribution and possession. He appeared in federal court on May 21 and again on May 22, 2026. He is currently detained.

According to the charging documents and statements made in court, Lemoyne had been communicating for months with numerous minor victims online via multiple chatting platforms and persuading them to create and send him CSAM. He also distributed CSAM to minor victims on multiple occasions.

The charging statutes provides a sentence of up to 30 years. 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.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation. Valuable assistance was provided by the Hudson Police Department and the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Vicinanzo is prosecuting the case.

The case is brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In 2006, the Department of Justice created Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the DOJ's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
