Man Found With 1.4K Images Of Child Porn: Hamden Police

HAMDEN, CT — A Hamden man has been arrested on a warrant after police say he was found to be in the possession of more than 1,400 images of child pornography. Authorities launched an investigation into the child pornography case in January of 2018, according to Sgt. Anthony Diaz.

Hamden Police executed a search-and-seizure warrant at a home on Sebec Street on July 24. Diaz said police seized multiple storage media devices, including computers, and 1,424 still image and movie files of suspected child pornography were found on the devices.

Det. Shawn Nutcher of the Computer Crimes Unit subsequently submitted an arrest warrant application to Meriden Superior Court for Anthony Deluise that was approved, according to Diaz.

Deluise, 58, of Sebec Street, was arrested Dec. 31 at police headquarters and charged with first-degree possession of child pornography. He was released after posting a court-ordered $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at Meriden Superior Court on Jan. 8.
