A Yale police officer has been arrested for allegedly possessing dozens of digital files depicting child sexual abuse, state police said.

Otilio Green, 43, of Hamden, was arrested Friday following a Connecticut State Police investigation prompted by a tip sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC.

The tip alleged that “a large volume of suspected child sexual abuse material” had been uploaded to a server.

Late last month, Synchronoss Technologies, a cloud-based storage provider, contacted the NCMEC to report that nearly 50 digital files containing suspected child abuse had been uploaded to a Verizon account between Feb. 3 and March 2, police said.

The files, five still images and 43 videos, showed young girls and boys — between the ages of 1 and 14 — engaging in sexually explicit conduct, according to an arrest warrant reviewed by the Daily News.

The IP address and phone number associated with the files belonged to Green, investigators said. A search warrant later revealed an additional two images and 55 video files containing child sex abuse.

Some of the disturbing videos included one showing an adult male and a “female child who appears to be an infant and (who) is naked from below the waist,” and another in which an adult male is next to “a naked female child that appears to be between the ages of 3 and 5 years old,” authorities said. Their specific actions are redacted in the warrant.

Green was arrested on Friday and charged with first-degree possession of child sexual abuse material. He was released on $100,000 bond and is expected back in court on April 16.

Immediately after he was released, Green was taken into custody by the Homeland Security Investigations Task Force on federal child pornography possession charges.

Green, who was placed on administrative leave, is currently prohibited from entering Yale police headquarters or any other university buildings or property, Yale Chief of Police Anthony Campbell, Green said, according to local CBS affiliate WFSB.
