A Massachusetts man that's provided children across New England with special moments was taken into custody Friday, accused of having nude photos of young boys.
45-year-old Scott Jameson of Sutton, Massachusetts was charged with one count of possession of child pornography and slated to face a judge in Boston Friday afternoon.
The charge stemmed from allegations brought by a non-governmental Cambodian agency, aimed at preventing the sexual abuse and exploitation of children, that alleged Jameson had been caught sleeping with two pre-teen Cambodian boys more than once and also had an improper interaction with a young boy in a park.
Jameson was halted by federal authorities at Logan Airport in Boston back in late August just after he had returned from a trip to Cambodia.

Authorities noted that they found a video of a young boy's genitals while conducting a search of Jameson's belongings. The boy appeared to be of Asian descent and between the ages of five and seven years old.
Investigators also found a device that contained more than a hundred photos of what appeared to be child pornography, including a nude photo of a boy that appeared to be between the ages of eight and ten years old.
Officials say Jameson is a dual citizen of both the United States and Cambodia.
