CONCORD, NH — A man from Concord, already facing lewdness charges from incidents last year, was in court last week on new charges after police accused him of possessing an illegal child sexual abuse image video, recording under the dress of a woman, and having videos from a bathroom of his home.
A Concord Police Department detective applied for a search warrant of two cellphones belonging to Jackson Roger Eastman, 20, of Eastern Avenue in Concord, on Feb. 2, which were logged in as evidence after he was arrested on charges in 2023. The detective suspected there might be child sexual abuse images or videos on the devices, according to an affidavit. Eastman has previously been arrested on indecent exposure and lewdness, gross lewdness, stalking, and disorderly conduct charges.
In late March, the detective reviewed one of the phones, a black Samsung cellphone, and found a 483-minute-long video file connected to a home security app. The detective wrote the video appeared to be of a toilet in a bathroom they recognized as from Jackson’s apartment, a report stated, due to a prior search warrant at the home. The detective analyzed and described some of the information in the video footage — including an email account associated with the device, which started with the words “bad things,” the report stated.
The report stated the second cellphone was analyzed and contained a recording of a Facebook Messenger chat with another user featuring a young girl and a dog. The video appeared to have been screen-recorded in late September 2023.

A second video, also from late September 2023, was taken at the Spirit Halloween store in Concord.
Eastman appeared to have placed the phone on the floor and recorded a woman in a dress waiting on customers at a register, an affidavit said. The woman was wearing shorts underneath the dress. The video ends moments after the woman dropped a coin on the floor, picked it up, noticed the phone, and called out to someone saying, “You left your phone on the ground to I picked it up and placed it there,” the report stated.
“Jackson proceeds to pick up the phone,” the detective wrote, “(and) the video then ends.”
The detective also said the videos were taken by a Quick Video Recorder app from Google Play.
On April 1, data from the home security system, requested after a search warrant was granted, found that the two cellphones were linked to the “bad things” email address.

The detective spoke to a manager with Spirit, who identified the woman in the video. The detective then interviewed the woman in the video who stated she never permitted Eastman to record her, the affidavit stated.
A request was made to Google to confirm ownership of the email address and found it was connected to Eastman, the report stated.
On April 15, the detective also spoke to a resident at Eastman’s home who stated they did not know someone was recording in their bathroom and did not permit anyone to record anyone, the affidavit said.
A warrant was issued on May 3 for Eastman’s arrest. He was picked up five days later.
After being arrested, the case was boundover from Concord District Court to Merrimack County Superior Court. A status conference hearing was held on June 6 and a dispositional conference is booked for July 31.

According to superior court records, Eastman’s active gross lewdness in the presence of a child under 16 — which also occurred at Spirit Halloween and two indecent exposure and lewdness charges from December 2023 will also be updated in July. He was indicted on the exposure charges earlier this year. Eastman was also arrested on stalking, disorderly conduct, and three incident exposure or gross lewdness charges in December 2023, after an incident at Target.

Diane Durgin, 67, is accused of shooting at a Black man who inadvertently drove to her property after a prearranged truck part sale, prosecutors said.
A New Hampshire woman is accused of violating the state’s Civil Rights Act four times after she allegedly shot at a man because he was Black, prosecutors said.
Diane Durgin, 67, of Weare, N.H. could face up to a $5,000 fine for each violation she is found to have committed, the office of New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said in a press release Tuesday.

Durgin is also charged with criminal threatening against a person with a deadly weapon and attempted first degree assault with a deadly weapon, Michael Garrity, a media representative for the New Hampshire Attorney General, said in an emailed statement to Boston.com.
Durgin had a final pre-trial conference last week, Garrity said.
In a civil complaint filed Tuesday, Durgin is accused of threatening physical force against the victim, the AG said. Prosecutors asked the court to issue a preliminary injunction barring Durgin from repeating her alleged behavior and from contacting the victim and his family.
During the morning hours of Oct. 20, 2024, the victim claims, he “mistakenly” drove to Durgin’s home after a prearranged purchase of a truck part with a seller online, prosecutors wrote as part of their request for an injunction.
When the man — whom prosecutors identified in court documents as X.G. — arrived, Durgin allegedly stepped out of her home and approached his car with a gun “holstered by her waist,” prosecutors wrote.

Upon noticing that X.G. was Black, Durgin allegedly “removed her gun and pointed it at X.G.,” prosecutors said in the injunction request.
While X.G. explained that he was lost, Durgin called the victim a “Black mother[expletive],” and threatened to “kill him,” prosecutors allege.
As the victim attempted to drive away, Durgin allegedly took her gun and fired two shots at the fleeing man’s car, missing both times, the AG’s office said.
While on the phone with a dispatcher, Durgin allegedly said she shot the man’s car because the victim is Black, the AG said.
“The guy is Black. And he, he…he says he’s meeting someone here and I think he’s coming here to steal,” Durgin allegedly said.

Police located X.G. and brought him to the Weare Police Department, stopping along the way at the correct seller’s home to complete the truck part purchase, prosecutors wrote in court documents.
To prove a violation of the New Hampshire Civil Rights Act, the AG must show that Durgin “interfered or attempted to interfere with the rights of the victim to engage in lawful activities by threatening to engage in or actually engage in physical force or violence, when such actual or threatening conduct was motivated by race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, or disability,” prosecutors said.
