New Haven Man, 27, Charged With Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material: NHPD

NEW HAVEN, CT — A "cyber tip" from an out-of-state law enforcement agency led New Haven police Special Victims Unit investigators to Ellsworth Avenue Tuesday, where they executed a search warrant in connection with a child pornography investigation, police said.

That search resulted in the arrest of Xavier Reyes, 27, of New Haven.

Reyes was charged with first-degree possession of child pornography. He is being held on a $400,000 bond.

According to a police post on social media, in May, a New Haven Police Task Force officer received a cyber tip that indicated child sex abuse materials being controlled by an individual in the New Haven area.
