Man Accused Of Possessing Child Pornography: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — A New York man accused of possessing child pornography was arrested last week and transported to Greenwich Police headquarters Tuesday, according to police. The arrest came after "an extensive investigation" that began last year, according to police.

Greenwich Police said John Mueser, 69, of Tuckahoe, N.Y., was arrested on an extraditable warrant for charges of first-degree possession of child pornography, risk of injury to a minor, fourth-degree sexual assault and voyeurism, police said.

Police said they began an investigation in October that involved reviewing "thousands of digital photographs." (To sign up for Greenwich breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

Police ultimately established probable cause and obtained an arrest warrant from the State Superior Court in Stamford, police said. Greenwich Police Special Victims detectives, along with members of the New York Westchester County Safe Streets Task Force, located and arrested Mueser at his New York home on April 1.

After waiving extradition, Mueser was transported to Police headquarters Tuesday, police said.

Police said no further details will be release at this time due to the "sensitive nature" of the investigation.
