Update, 1:10 p.m., Tuesday:
Today, in his arraignment in a New London court, the Rev. Dennis Carey said “I want to get help” while posting a $100,000 bond on a charge of first-degree possession of child pornography.
Carey was the pastor of St. Paul in Chains Rectory in Waterford before resigning last week following a state police investigation into child pornography. That investigation turned into an arrest, with Carey turning himself in Monday.
During his arraignment, Carey’s lawyer Ronald Stevens stressed that there are no allegations of Carey doing anything inappropiate with children. He said Carey was allegedly just looking at child pornography, saying Carey has “been struggling with the issue for awhile.”
“I just think there is a huge difference,” said Stevens, referring to the difference between viewing child pornography and doing inappropriate things with children.
