Westport Man Arrested On Possession Of Child Pornography Charge: PD

WESTPORT, CT — A 29-year-old Westport man was arrested last week on a charge of third-degree possession of child pornography, after Westport police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to authorities.

An investigation was launched of Brian Myers following the cyber tip.

"The tip referenced questionable search history on a shared computer and required further follow-up from Law Enforcement," said Westport Police Lt. Eric Woods in a statement, adding that Myers was identified as the suspect.

Westport police detectives visited Myers at his home to question him about the tip, and "Mr. Myers admitted to possessing child pornography and provided his cell phones and laptops which contained the images."

After police conducted a cursory search of the devices, they confirmed that they contained suspected child pornography, which led to Myers' arrested.

Meyers was released after posting bond on bail of $30,000, and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Friday.
