WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A New York man has been arrested on child pornography charges in West Haven.
Police say 73-year-old Thomas Sawyer of Valatie, New York is charged with first-degree possession of child pornography.
According to police, Sawyer is a brother with the Holy Cross Brotherhood and their investigation began when he was living at the Saint John Vianney Church Residence Hall at 300 Captain Thomas Boulevard.
“When you have somebody like that it’s pretty scary,” said a woman named Kathleen, a Saint John Vianney parishioner.
Police say during the investigation, they discovered more than 426 images of child pornography in Sawyer’s possession. Sawyer was arraigned in Milford Superior Court where his bond was set at $25,000.
