Danbury Man Arrested on Child Porn Charge

A Danbury man was arrested by State Police after a six-month long child pornography investigation.

The computer crimes unit of the Connecticut State Police initiated an investigation in June after receiving a complaint regarding suspected child pornography being saved to a cloud storage device. A suspect was identified after police executed search and seizure warrants.

Two cell phones were seized in August from the suspect, identified as Edward Barker, 33, and forensically examined. The examination of the cell phones led to the discovery of child porn, police said.

Barker turned himself into police at Troop A Southbury on Friday. He was charged with first-degree possession of child pornography and held on a $40,000 bond.

He was then transported to Danbury Superior Court for arraignment.
