Camp official indicted on child porn charges

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – The executive director of a camp for disabled and disadvantaged children in Maine has been indicted on charges of possessing child pornography on his computer.

David Baldwin was indicted by a Middlesex Superior Court grand jury on five counts of possession of child pornography last Thursday. He faces arraignment Sept. 28 but has not been arrested.

The pornography did not involve children at the Agassi Village camp in Poland, Maine.

“He is no way charged with posing,” said Anson Kaye, a spokesman for the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office. “That would be the charge.”

The camp’s offices are in Lexington, Mass.

Donald Katz, chairman of the camp’s board of trustees, said Tuesday that Baldwin resigned in May when the allegations became known.

“We learned with great surprise and great disappointment of his activities,” he said.

“We have been fully cooperative and involved in the investigation and we’re confident to say that no child of Agassi Village was involved in any of this activity.”
