SKOWHEGAN (WGAN) A Skowhegan man accused of taking sexually explicit photos of children he was babysitting is charged with sexual exploitation of a child.

The Bangor Daily News reports 28-year-old Christopher Raiche was charged in U.S. District court in Bangor after admitting to taking photos of at least 9 children from different families, all under the age of 10.
