Bunnell Grad Charged for Child Porn

A 2004 graduate of Bunnell High School was arrested last week on computer crime charges that included first-degree possession of child pornography and promoting a minor in an obscene performance.

Erik Soderberg, 26, was arrested Feb. 27 by local and state police after a two-month-long investigation into the sharing of child porn over the Internet traced the activity to his West Haven home, police said.

Police said a search and seizure at 37 Nacca Road last week "yielded several items of evidentiary value," including suspected child pornography. During the search, Soderberg was developed as a suspect, police said.

The Bunnell grad was held in lieu of $100,000 bond and was due in court Feb. 28.
