Scott Buatti, 43, a teacher and girl’s basketball coach at Timberlane Regional Middle School in Plaistow, New Hampshire has been indicated by a Rockingham County grand jury on 10 counts alleging the possession of of child pornography.

The indictments allege that Buatti possessed eight video files of naked girls on his home computer along with two digital photo files of children engaged in sexual acts.

Reportedly, authorities received a tip from federal investigators that led local police to Buatti in February 2008 at which time police seized his home computer.

Rockingham County Attorney James Reams has been reported as saying that Buatti had videos and photos of young girls not much younger than those he taught, engaging in sex.

Buatti, who has taught at Timberland since 1989, has reportedly been placed on administrative leave by the school system.

10/15/09 – New Indictment

Scott Buatti has been indicted on 10 new charges stemming from 10 computer files containing child pornography allegedly found on his home computer.

Buatti was previously indicted on 10 counts of possession of child pornography pertaining to the same files. The new indictment is on 10 counts of attempted possession of child pornography.

The new charges do not require prosecutors to prove that the photos are of children, only that Buatti was attempting to possess pornographic images of children. Last week his lawyer sought to have the original charges dismissed on grounds that the original indictment did not describe the lewd acts the children are engaged in, and that authorities did not allow the defense to cross-examine the children in the photos.
