State v. Timothy Barr

Summary

The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed Timothy Barr’s convictions for manufacturing and possessing child sexual abuse images, holding that the statute is constitutional even when the underlying sexual activity was lawful, and that the trial court did not err in denying his request to cross‑examine the minor about her prior sexual history. The court relied on established First Amendment doctrine that child pornography involving actual minors is unprotected speech and applied the unsustainable‑exercise‑of‑discretion standard to the evidentiary ruling.
