Leominster Man Charged with Transportation of Child Pornography

BOSTON - A Leominster man has been arrested and charged with transportation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Camden MacLean, 25, charged with one count of transportation of child pornography. MacLean was arrested yesterday and, following an initial appearance in federal court in Worcester, was ordered detained pending a hearing scheduled for April 21, 2026.

According to the charging documents, MacLean was flagged for secondary screening at Boston's Logan Airport upon arrival from Toronto, Canada in August 2025. It is alleged that during a review of MacLean's cell phone, media files depicting CSAM were found in his Telegram Messenger app. A subsequent forensic examination of the device allegedly revealed additional media files depicting CSAM that appeared to have been exchanged over Telegram and Kik Messenger, including images showing the sexual abuse of toddlers.

The charge of transportation of child pornography provides for a sentence of at least five years and up to 20 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime 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 and Jeff Grimming, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England made the announcement today. Valuable assistance was provided by Customs and Border Patrol, Boston Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Aidan Lang of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the 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.
