Former NH State Representative Sentenced to 33 Years for Child Exploitation
Prosecutors said the abuse images came from a daycare and the victims were as young as 3.
- On Thursday, a federal judge in Boston sentenced former New Hampshire state representative Stacie-Marie Laughton to 33 years in prison for sexual exploitation of children at a Massachusetts daycare.
- Federal prosecutors allege Laughton manipulated her former partner, Lindsay Groves, who worked at Creative Minds Early Learning Center, into photographing children as young as 3 years old.
- A forensic review of the pair's cellphones revealed more than 10,000 text messages exchanged in 2023, including explicit images of children, with prosecutors claiming Laughton's voice was the more prominent one in exploitation discussions.
- Prosecutors argued Laughton's history of aggression, manipulation, and prior crimes—including threats, credit card fraud, and false 911 calls—did not mitigate the severity of her convictions following her 2024 resignation from the New Hampshire House.
- Laughton was the first self-described transgender person elected to the New Hampshire Legislature in 2012, but her political career was marked by prior convictions for fraud and harassment before this conviction.
