FARMINGTON -- A Biddeford man facing charges after allegedly exposing himself to an 13-year-old Augusta boy at a dance camp held at Winthrop High School will be in court today to argue bail.

The alleged incident occurred while Keith R. Nadeau, 19, was out on bail pending a trial in Franklin County on charges leveled in December that he had child pornography on his computer while a student at the University of Maine at Farmington. In that case, Nadeau he allegedly showed another student photos of young children performing sex acts, said Ted Blais, UMF's public safety director.

Nadeau was released on $3,000 bail on that charge and was ordered to have no contact with children younger than 16.

Those conditions were amended in May to allow Nadeau to work as an instructor at a Saco-based dance company for children 6 and older. According to an affidavit filed by Officer Paul Ferland of the Winthrop police, Nadeau exposed himself to a boy as the two were alone in a locker room before a performance in Winthrop on July 24.

Nadeau was arrested for that on Aug. 18 at his mother's Biddeford home following a week-long investigation by Winthrop police. He was charged with visual sexual aggression against a child, a misdemeanor, and violating conditions of his release.

Nadeau, who has been back in the Franklin County Jail since August 29, is set to appear in Franklin County Superior Court today for a motion to revoke his bail.
