State Police Searching for New Britain Child Pornography Suspect

NEW BRITAIN, CT — State police detectives are searching for a New Britain man for whom they have obtained warrants charging him with child pornography crimes.

In June, detectives from the State Police Computer Crimes Unit initiated an investigation after video files of suspected child pornography were downloaded from an Internet account assigned to Frank Cintron, 26. Through the course of the investigation, detectives served a search and seizure warrant for Cintron's New Britain residence and seized computers and other electronic devices capable of storing digital data, police said.

The seized items were forensically examined, and a large quantity of both image and video files of suspected child pornography were located, police said.

An arrest warrant for Cintron was granted, charging him with first-degree possession of child pornography and promoting a minor in an obscene performance. There is a $100,000 court-set bond on the warrant, police said.

Cintron's last known address was 205 Hartford Road, Apt. D12, New Britain. Anyone who thinks they may have any information, or thinks they may know the whereabouts of Cintron, is asked to call Troop H - Hartford at 860-534-1000 or text TIP711 with any information to 274637. All calls and texts will remain confidential.
