Brendan DuBois sentenced for child sexual abuse material
Brendan DuBois, a bestselling mystery writer, has been sentenced to 3 1/2 to seven years in prison for possessing child sexual abuse material. He pleaded guilty in a New Hampshire court, with prosecutors dropping two of six charges in a plea deal. DuBois, 65, was arrested in Exeter last July and has been in jail for over eight months, which will count towards his sentence. He must register as a sex offender and may undergo treatment assessment while in prison. His publisher, Severn River Publishing, has removed his books from their website. DuBois is known for co-authoring several novels with James Patterson.
