Laughton, 39, has been federally charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children.
It has been revealed that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) attended campaign events with former New Hampshire state representative, who was arrested in June on child pornography charges.
Laughton, 39, has been federally charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children and aiding and abetting by the US Attorney's Office District of Massachusetts. He was the first openly transgender lawmaker in the United States.
Swalwell was seen pictured with Laughton at a campaign event in New Hampshire in 2019, according to photos posted by Libs of TikTok on Twitter.
Laughton faces federal charges in connection with sexual exploitation at a Tyngsborough, Massachusetts daycare center. Lindsay Groves, who is Laughton's former girlfriend and was a daycare worker, allegedly assisted the lawmaker in obtaining sexual pictures of the children. Groves has also been arrested and was charged in June.
Groves allegedly used bathroom breaks for the children, such as diaper changes, to take pictures of the children in the bathroom and would send the photos to Laughton.
There were over 2,500 text messages between Laughton and Groves on the phones obtained by the prosecution. These included at least four sexually explicit pictures of children between three and five years of age.
Laughton allegedly responded, "I also need to be honest I mean yes that picture was hot of that little boy but you probably have gotten the picture by now that I prefer little girls (sic), but he is cute."
Other texts allegedly talked about the couple hooking up with each other as well as with children.
Groves was employed by the daycare from 2017 up until June of this year, according to the Boston Herald.
The US Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts said that "The charge of sexual exploitation of children provides for a sentence of at least 15 years and up to 30 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000."
