Former Bristol man faces child *********** charges
01:00 AM EST on Thursday, January 1, 2009
State police have charged a former Bristol man with creating,
transmitting and possessing child ***********.
Jonathan Comeau, 60, now of Natchitoches, La., appeared before Judge
Michael A. Higgins in District Court, Providence. Judge Higgins set
bail at $50,000.
Detective Lt. David S. Neill said yesterday he did not know whether
Comeau had posted bail.
Neill said the case dates to October, when the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children, a private organization, notified the
state police computer crimes unit that child *********** was being
transmitted from a computer at 33 Birchwood Drive, Bristol, Comeau?s
former address.
The detective said that investigators obtained search warrants that
enabled investigators to seize computer information at the Birchwood
Drive address and to take ?forensic information? from the computer?s
hard drive.
He said the investigators found ?several hundred? images of alleged
child *********** on the hard drive.
Neill said the police learned that Comeau was due to return to Rhode
Island to consult a lawyer, and officers were waiting on Monday when
Comeau left the office of the lawyer, whom Neill declined to identify
on the grounds that the lawyer was not involved in the child-
*********** case.
