WATERFORD, Conn. —

State police say the former pastor of a Roman Catholic church in Waterford has been arrested on a child pornography possession charge.

The Rev. Dennis Carey was charged with possessing child pornography in the first degree. State police say he was being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear Tuesday in New London Superior Court.

Telephone messages left for Carey’s attorney and at the church were not immediately returned.

The arrest came after police in Los Angeles notified police in Connecticut about a possible suspect. Authorities in Connecticut say they executed a search warrant at the St. Paul Parish rectory and seized evidence.
