WATERFORD — The former pastor of a Roman Catholic church in Waterford has been arrested on a child pornography charge, state police said Tuesday.
The Rev. Dennis Carey was being held on $100,000 bond and was scheduled to appear Tuesday in New London Superior Court on a charge of possessing child pornography in the first degree.
Telephone messages left for Carey’s attorney and at the church were not immediately returned.
The arrest came after police in Los Angeles notified Connecticut authorities about a possible suspect. Connecticut investigators said they executed a search warrant at the St. Paul Parish rectory and seized evidence.
