SKOWHEGAN — A Fairfield man faces a court hearing in June on two felony charges of possessing child pornography.

Jeffrey Carroll White, 34, of Main Street, Fairfield, is charged with possession of sexually explicit material involving minors under the age of 12, according to court documents. He was arrested April 24 in Fairfield by a special agent of Maine State Police and booked at the Somerset County Jail in East Madison, where he later posted $2,500 cash bail and was released.

The crimes, Class C felonies punishable by up to 10 years in prison on each count, are alleged to have taken place July 13, 2017.

He has entered not guilty pleas to both charges. A motion for appointment of a lawyer by the court was denied because White was not considered to be indigent.

Special Agent Jason Bosco of the state police computer crimes unit said by phone Monday that police carried out a search warrant, and White was found to be in possession of “a couple of laptops that contained a pretty large quantity of child pornographic images and videos.”

Bosco said police received a tip from a member of the public that White would be in possession of child pornography.

While he is out on bail, White is ordered not to use any device that is capable of connecting with the Internet and is to have no contact with children under the age of 18. He also is ordered to stay away from schools, playgrounds and parks.

He has a scheduled dispositional hearing June 9 in court in Skowhegan, with a tentative trial date of Aug. 8.
