Rep. Bryan Morse, a 31-year-old Republican, was taken into custody Thursday. He was released on $200 cash bail, and is scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 18 in a Nashua courtroom.
According to Nashua police, an investigation into Morse began in May when the victim, who has not been identified, told authorities that he had posted explicit images of her on social media platforms without her consent.
In a statement, Morse denied the allegations and said he intended to fight the charges. “I am pleading not guilty and will be fighting vigorously to clear my name,” he said.
During his first year in office, Morse has spoken repeatedly about what’s described as the dangers of pornography in schools, including claiming in social media posts that New Hampshire public schools are providing students access to books with graphic content.
On his public Facebook page, Morse has said allowing trans people to use the bathroom of their choice is a threat to women’s privacy.
