On May 12, 2011, the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit executed a search and seizure

warrant at 220 Main St. Apt 2F New Hartford, CT.  This warrant originated from an investigation

regarding the transmission of suspected child pornography via the Internet and online accounts used by the

suspect.  Electronic items that were seized from the suspect’s residence were examined and it was

determined that there were multiple images of child pornography present.  An arrest warrant was requested

from Superior Court for the arrest of the accused.  The warrant was issued by the court for the arrest.
