Concord Man Arrested On Child Sexual Abuse Images Charges

CONCORD, NH — A Concord man was arrested on child sexual abuse images charges after a 10-month investigation after police were tipped off by Google about a possible possession incident.

Originally, according to a court affidavit, the case was referred to a detective in Amherst who received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in August 2020. The org received the tip from Google. Concord police were referred to the case in December 2020.

According to the Amherst detective, who was working on the case via the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children task force, a woman's email was named and this initial tip involved 455 files were uploaded to a Google Photos account. Altogether, 6,187 files were uploaded to the account with some duplicate files, the detective said. Twenty-three images were consistent with child sexual abuse images, the report stated, mostly of the same two girls.

Two search warrants were requested in Milford District Court for a Microsoft email address and deleted email files. The email account was created in January 2015, with a 03301 Concord zip code, the report stated. In September 2020, Google disabled a second email account for violation of policies, the detective learned. Three other accounts were also found and two deleted, the report stated.

In the file, detectives said there were a number of naturist photos with a mix of girls and women, with dates and labeled files.

The Internet protocol address was traced to a Comcast account in the name of Marc Allen Pulsifer of Alton Woods Drive in Concord, the affidavit said.

Police knew of Pulsifer when he worked at loss prevention at Best Buy, the affidavit stated. He was also investigated on a child endangerment case from January 2015, the detective said. At the time, he was a customer of Café Press and was accused of "uploading images over a one-week period to their server." The images, the report stated, "depicted an early teen female in various poses including some sexual and seductive in nature." The female was clothed in all the images and none of the photos were criminal in nature, the detective said, but Pulsifer was questioned about it.

"In that case, Marc told investigators that he talks to girls online only and that he is sexually attracted to girls between the ages of 11-13," the detective alleged.

A search warrant was conducted of his apartment and photos were found but none were illegal, the detective said. Pulsifer, police alleged, created a fictitious female persona and was using that to interact with children in a "fantasy relationship," police said. The report accused Pulsifer of admitting he had "accidentally downloaded and deleted" some child sex abuse images, the affidavit stated. Investigators also spoke with Best Buy employees who accused Pulsifer of dumping "20 bags of evidence" prior to police arriving but detectives were not able to substantiate the claim or find the evidence.

Pulsifer was "counseled about his behavior" while family members stated they would be getting him some help.

On Wednesday, police requested a search warrant from Concord District Court of Pulsifer and his apartment.

On Thursday, police went to his apartment but no one was home. A property manager let police into the apartment to confirm Pulsifer was not inside and he was not, according to scanner chatter. Inside though, the detective claimed there were images everywhere.

"I observed there to be child sex abuse images and child erotica images in the entire apartment," the affidavit stated. "I saw these images on posters that were in the bedroom walls, in frames in pictures that were in the living room and bedroom. The entire apartment was covered in these types of images."

The detective claimed there were televisions, too, in two rooms, showing slideshows of images, the report stated.

While at Alton Woods, other officers learned Pulsifer was now working at Walmart and went to the store to speak with him. He was given the search warrant at that time, the report stated, and questioned. A Samsung cellphone and smartwatch were also seized, the detective wrote. During that interaction, the officers at the apartment radioed the officers at Walmart, and Pulsifer was arrested.

Seized at the apartment, according to the affidavit, were three DVD cases with photos on the cover and side labels with descriptions, and a three-ring binder with images. During processing, police accused Pulsifer of having photos in his wallet, too. Police also noted he two credit cards from Citi for Best Buy — one in his name and another in the name of the fictitious female persona he had created, the affidavit stated.

Pulsifer, 43, was charged by Concord police with six felony possession of child sexual abuse images charges. He was scheduled to be arraigned in Merrimack County Superior Court on Friday on eight counts, according to court documents.
