KEENE, NH – A Keene couple arrested last week for their alleged production of child sexual abuse material has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

According to the indictment on or around January 29th Paul and Krystal Baird, 43 and 38 respectively, knowingly attempted to and knowingly employed, used, persuaded, induced, enticed, and coerced a female under the age of 12 to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce child pornography.

At the time of his arrest on March 20th, Paul Baird was employed by Student Transportation of America serving the ConVal School District.

“The individual is not an employee of the district and has been terminated by STA,” Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said in a statement following the arrest. “It does not appear at this time that the arrest is connected to any activity involving our students and staff, or any district-related activity.”

The couple was indicted on Wednesday and an investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with further information should call the Homeland Security Investigations’ New England Field Division’s Manchester Office at 603-629-2716.
