Massachusetts level 3 sex offender arrested on child love doll purchase, porn

Members of the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) arrested a Shirley man on child pornography charges following an investigation into a purchase the man made through an online, e-commerce corporation.

The investigation began when the e-commerce corporation alerted the CCU that a man had purchased a “love doll” sex toy, which resembles a child. The purchase of such an item violates the corporation’s user agreement and terms of service.

Trooper Jeffrey Perry conducted an investigation into the purchaser and confirmed him to be Sean McClure, 48, of Shirley, a registered Level 3 Sex Offender.

Trooper Perry and other members of the CCU made contact with McClure at his residence in Shirley. Following their encounter with him, they executed a search warrant on his residence, with assistance from the Shirley Police Department and Special Agents from Homeland Security Investigations, which led to the discovery of numerous images believed to be child pornography.

McClure was subsequently placed under arrest on the following charges:
1. Possession of Child Pornography
2. Distribution of Obscene Matter

McClure was booked at the State Police Barracks in Leominster and held on $20,000.00 bail pending his arraignment.
