HUDSON, N.H. — A Hudson man is being held without bail after investigators said he used the social media platform X to seek child sexual abuse material and trade sexual messages and images with a 13‑year‑old girl, according to police and court documents.

The Hudson Police identified the suspect as 25‑year‑old Darian Doerr, of 48 Mobile Drive, who was arrested following a monthslong investigation triggered by a CyberTipline report from X Corp.

According to an affidavit, investigators linked Doerr to an account that requested child sexual abuse material, contained deleted messages in which he referred to himself as a “pedophile,” and included lewd communications with a 13‑year‑old girl from Idaho.

The investigation began in November when the Hudson and Manchester police were assigned to follow up on the CyberTipline report, which X Corp. had submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in October.

The report included two files described as “apparent child pornography” and provided a phone number, user identification, and IP address associated with the account “Darian473667.”

According to the affidavit, detectives traced the phone number and IP address to Doerr and confirmed his identity and residence through motor‑vehicle records, database checks, public‑records searches, and surveillance conducted in late December.

A search warrant served on X Corp. returned additional data, including deleted messages in which Doerr asked for photos and videos of child sexual abuse material and made sexual comments to the 13‑year‑old girl.

A judge approved a search warrant for Doerr’s home, and members of the Hudson Police Special Investigations Bureau and the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed it on Jan. 21.

During an interview, Doerr told investigators he struggled with a pornography addiction and was recently viewing “‘Lolli’ type pornography.” The affidavit states that “Lolli” is a term that refers to “underage or child-like characters in sexually explicit situations.”

Doerr is also alleged to have told investigators he searched the word “pedo” on X to trigger certain results.

Doerr further acknowledged communicating inappropriately with the 13‑year‑old girl and exchanging explicit images with her.

The affidavit states that at one point during the interview Doerr said, “Again I knowingly received sexual images and had sexual conversations with someone that was thirteen years old, I engaged in weird internet activity what’s the charges to come out of that?”

Police seized Doerr’s cellphone and computer during the search. A forensic review yielded “age difficult images of three separate females,” along with search history involving the word “pedo” and visits to multiple fetish pornography websites, according to the affidavit.

Doerr was arrested on March 9, and charged with possession of child sexual abuse images, a special felony. He was arraigned the following day, where he entered no plea.

Court documents show that a judge ordered him detained pending trial, citing “probable cause that release of the person is a danger to that person or the public.”

Doerr remains held at the Hillsboro County Department of Corrections and is scheduled to return to court at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

CONCORD, NH (WGME) — A coalition of 13 state attorneys general, including New Hampshire, has filed a lawsuit against national lender OneMain Financial, alleging the company charged consumers hundreds of millions of dollars in hidden fees tied to loan “add-on” products.

The lawsuit claims OneMain Financial packed installment loans with optional products such as insurance policies that consumers either did not request, did not need, or did not fully understand they were purchasing.

New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said the lawsuit aims to hold the company accountable for allegedly increasing the cost of loans for borrowers seeking financial relief.

“Our complaint alleges that OneMain marketed installment loans to Granite Staters seeking financial relief, then increased the cost of those loans through add-on products that consumers did not clearly request or knowingly agree to,” Formella said in a statement. “New Hampshire families trying to make ends meet deserve straightforward terms, not hidden costs. Companies that fail to provide transparency and fair dealing, as required by our consumer protection laws, should expect our office to take action to ensure a fair and honest marketplace.”

According to the complaint, OneMain Financial, which operates five branches in New Hampshire, allegedly used a “bait-and-switch” sales process that hid add-on products within lengthy loan documents. Investigators claim those products significantly inflated the cost of loans that were already high-interest.

Attorneys general allege the company sometimes pre-loaded loans with add-ons before closing, rushed customers through the paperwork process, and buried references to the products within dozens of pages of legal documents. In some cases, the lawsuit claims loans were finalized on smartphones, making already small contract text even harder to read.

In addition to New Hampshire, the lawsuit was filed by the attorneys general of Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Maine is not part of the lawsuit. However, OneMain Financial does operate a location in Scarborough.

In a statement, the company denied the allegations and said it plans to fight the case in court.

“The states’ allegations are simply untrue — their case is wrong on the facts and wrong on the law and attempts to relitigate issues that were already reviewed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and fully resolved,” the company said.

“We operate honestly and transparently, in full compliance with all laws and regulations, as we provide responsible and much needed access to credit for hardworking Americans. This matter does not change how we operate our business or serve our customers. We will litigate this case vigorously and look forward to proving the truth in court.”

The lawsuit comes about three years after OneMain Financial agreed to pay $20 million to settle federal allegations that it pressured employees to sell add-on products to borrowers. The company did not admit wrongdoing in that settlement.

If successful, the lawsuit seeks restitution for consumers who were charged for the add-on products, civil penalties, and the return of profits obtained through the alleged practices. The states are also asking a court to bar OneMain from continuing the practices and to withdraw negative credit reports tied to the disputed products.

New Hampshire officials say consumers who believe they were affected by the company’s practices can file a complaint with the state’s Department of Justice Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau.

CONCORD, NH — A woman from Manchester is facing another driving under the influence charge after a crash on Airport Road in Concord in January.

Around 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 31, officers were sent to the area of Manchester Street and Airport Road for a report of a crash. The caller told dispatch the driver, a woman, had driven into a snowbank, and she smelled like alcohol, according to an affidavit.

The first officer arrived and found a 2014 Subaru Forester between the road and Concord Nissan. The SUV had airbag deployment and “the undercarriage seemed to be destroyed,” the officer wrote.

The officer approached the SUV and spoke to the operator, identified later as Nicole E. Roy, 37, of Youville Street in Manchester, and accused her of having “bloodshot and glassy” eyes. She also had “thick, slow, slurred speech,” and smelled like alcohol, the reporting officer said.

“I asked her what happened and she spoke too softly for me to understand her,” the office wrote in the report. “She then told me her ex-boyfriend was calling her, and she drove off the road.”

Fire and rescue teams were requested and evaluated her, but she declined services, the report said. While she was being checked, the reporting officer spoke to a witness, a man in his early 20s, who reported seeing her “drive off the road at a high rate of speed.” When the witness approached the vehicle to see if the driver was OK, he accused her of smelling like alcohol and being impaired, the report stated.

When asked if she had anything to drink, Roy said she had not, the officer wrote. The officer then asked if she had hit her head or were injured and she said no, due to wearing a seatbelt.

Roy was requested to take a field sobriety test and was unsteady on her feet and nearly fell when exiting the vehicle, the affidavit said. She walked in the new, deep snow, and into the parking lot of Concord Nissan, but was accused of struggling.

“I was concerned she was going to fall,” the officer wrote. “Roy refused my assistance.”

After going through three sets of tests, the officer asked if she was being honest about her alcohol consumption, the report said. When asked why she smelled like alcohol and her eyes displayed signs of impairment, she told the officer she smoked cannabis around 11 a.m., the report said.

Roy was arrested and “showed a variety of emotions” during the trip to police headquarters for processing, “from being nice, to crying, to yelling at (the officer) in a short span of time,” the affidavit said.

At the police station, Roy was accused of being unsteady on her feet and smelling of alcohol after being taken out of the cruiser. She walked into a wall on the ramp inside the stationhouse, a report said.

The officer also called the owner of the Subaru, who “refused to pick her up,” and called Roy “an alcoholic,” according to an affidavit.

Roy was accused of displaying “a range of emotions” while calling three people to assist her, the report said.

The officer also noted Roy was convicted of driving under the influence in Hooksett District Court in May 2023.

On Feb. 2, she pleaded not guilty to the charges.

On Feb. 5, she was granted a public defender.
