NASHUA — Members of the police department’s Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Unit served arrest warrants to two Nashua men over the course of two days this week, both of whom are accused of possessing child sexual abuse images, police said.

Adam Earl Egerton, 27, of 16 Coburn Ave., was taken into custody Tuesday, and on Wednesday, the POP Unit arrested Leonardo Antonio McKanobb-Hadley, 18, of 21 Blanchard St., according to police.

The number of charges each man is facing wasn’t specified in police press releases, but according to the department’s online arrest logs, Egerton is charged with eight counts of possessing and/or buying child sexual abuse images, while McKanobb-Hadley is charged with five counts of possessing and/or buying CSAIs and three counts of manufacturing CSAIs.

Police said the investigations into both men began in February, when the department received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) “regarding the exploitation of children via the internet.”

Upon forensic examination of electronic devices belonging to Egerton, police said child sexual abuse images were located, resulting in a warrant being issued for his arrest.

In McKanobb-Hadley’s case, detectives issued an arrest warrant after a search of his residence turned up electronic devices. Upon a forensic examination, the devices were allegedly located, prompting a warrant to be issued for his arrest.
