Man Arrested On Child Pornography Charge: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A Wallingford man has been arrested on a child pornography charge, according to police.

Roy C. Edwards, 48, turned himself in on a warrant on Oct. 13 in connection with possessing child sexual abuse material, according to Lt. Stephen Jaques.

Jaques said the initial complaint was received by the Wallingford Police Department from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in December 2024, when Edwards had “uploaded multiple images of Child Sexual Abuse Material to his Verizon Wireless account.”

“Members of the Wallingford Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, along with the FBI Task Force, conducted a months-long investigation into the complaint,” Jaques wrote in a news release. “Search warrants for Edwards’ home and electronic devices were executed, and multiple videos and still images of Child Sexual Abuse Material were found on the seized devices.”

Edwards was charged with first-degree possessing child pornography. He was released after posting a $75,000 bond with a court date of Oct. 30.
