Manchester Man Faces 5 Charges Involving Child Sex Abuse Images

MANCHESTER, NH - On December 18, 2020, Manchester Police arrested Jeffrey Tamblyn, 72 of Manchester, and charged him with crimes involving the possession of child sexual abuse images.

MPD Spokesperson Heather Hamel says "This arrest was the result of a months-long joint investigation by the Manchester Police Department’s Cybercrime Unit and the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children (NH ICAC) Task Force."

The investigation began in March 2020, when the Manchester Police Cybercrime Unit received a CyberTip forwarded by the NH ICAC, regarding child sexual abuse images being uploaded to Microsoft Bing.

Police say through their investigation, they determined that the IP address used for this activity was local, tracing it to Tamblyn’s address, 143 Middle St, 2nd Floor.

Police executed a search warrant at this address on November 10, 2020. The subsequent forensic examination uncovered multiple child sexual abuse images on a computer belonging to Tamblyn.

As a result, Tamblyn was arrested and charged with 5 counts of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse. These charges are all felonies. Tamblyn was released on $5000 Personal Recognizance bail and will be arraigned in Hillsborough Superior Court – North, on a date to be determined.
