The former pastor of a Roman Catholic church in Waterford turned himself in to state police Tuesday morning after learning they had a warrant for his arrest on one count of first-degree possession of child pornography.
Dennis Carey, 65, of 191 High St., Apt. 4A, in East Hartford, was arraigned in New London Superior Court later in the day, where his case was transferred to Part A court for serious felonies. He was released on $100,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
According to police, he told authorities he is addicted to child pornography. He was ordered to have no contact with minors and not to use computers.
“Father Carey stated that he has an addiction to the child pornography and has tried to stop viewing it many times in the past,” his arrest affidavit says. “Father Carey stated that he has deleted many of the files because he knows that it is wrong.”
Authorities say they found 338 files of suspected child pornography. The images and videos depicted boys and girls who appeared to be younger than 16, the affidavit says.
