New London, Conn. —
The former Waterford pastor who police said confessed an addiction to child pornography is due for an appearance today in New London’s Part A court for serious felonies.
The Rev. Dennis Carey, 65, turned himself in to state police July 3, a week after state and Waterford police confronted Carey with a search warrant at the rectory of the St. Paul in Chains Church on Rope Ferry Road in Waterford. Carey resigned as pastor of the church a day after police seized computer hardware from the rectory.
Police said a forensic analysis turned up 338 files of suspected child pornography on two desktop computers, two laptop computers, a USB drive and an external hard drive. Police said it included 275 images and 63 videos of boys and girls younger than 16 in sexual situations. Police said several graphic videos included children between 2 and 3 years old.
The search warrant was the culmination of an investigation into the trading of child pornography that had started months earlier in California.
