Massachusetts investigators track down child porn suspect who didn't show up at trial
FALL RIVER - Investigators in Massachusetts tracked down a man who didn't show up for his trial on child pornography charges.
State Police and local police said Tuesday they were looking for 48-year-old Scott Fontaine of Fall River. He was supposed to be in Fall River Superior Court for the start of his trial Monday, but never appeared. A warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Thursday, the Bristol County District Attorney's office said Fontaine has been found and was ordered held without bail.
Prosecutors said Fontaine is charged with indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14, posing a child in nude and possessing child pornography. He had been free on $10,000 bail before his trial started.
Fontaine was found in Fall River and taken into custody.
A new trial date has been scheduled for March 13.
