WALLINGFORD, CT — Wallingford’s Jeffrey Krahling, a former Meriden dentist accused of sexually assaulting female patients among other arrests, was arrested on a child pornography charge Thursday following an investigation by Connecticut State Police that began in June. The investigation into the sharing of child pornography over the Internet traced the activity to a residence located on Summerhill Road, according to police.
