Ex-TSA Employee Indicted on Child Porn Charges

A former Transportation Security Administration employee arrested by Londonderry Police in June after more than 1,000 images of child sexual abuse and pornography were found on his laptop computer and thumb drives has been indicted.


According to the Union Leader, Miguel Angel Quinones, 38, of 67 Whittemore Ave., Manchester was indicted earlier this month by a Rockingham County grand jury on 20 counts of possession and attempted possession of child pornography. He is currently free on bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in superior court on Sept. 26.

Londonderry Police were initially notified by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in January that Quinones was being investigated for possession of child pornography. He voluntarily turned over his personal computer and three USB thumb drives to ICAC investigators. The laptop and thumb drives were located in Londonderry at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in his personal, employment locker. Quinones was then an employee of the Transportation Security Administration.

ICAC asked Londonderry Police to apply for a search warrant for the computer and thumb drives, and assisted with the forensic search once the warrant was approved. The forensic search found more than 1,000 images and one video contained what appeared to be child sexual abuse and pornography.
