Police in Stamford, Connecticut, have arrested a local man after they say they found thousands of images of child pornography on his laptop.
Police started their investigation in August after learning that someone at 101 Greenwich Avenue, a multifamily home, had been downloading child pornography, police said.
Police went to the house with a search warrant on Friday and found that the only modem in the house was in Ranjer Gonzalez’s bedroom, police said.
The 34-year-old Stamford man initially denied any involvement with child porn, but police said he was trying to hide a laptop under his bed. When authorities analyzed it, they found 18 videos and 11,400 images of child porn.
Police brought Gonzalez to police headquarters and charged him with first-degree possession of child pornography and importing child pornography. Bond was set at $150,000.
Police also called the state Department of Children and Families because a 3-year-old girl was in the room next to Gonzalez’s.
