Police arrested a man from East Heaven, Connecticut, after the staff members of a computer repair shop found that he had accessed child abuse websites from his personal computer.

According to EastHeavenPatch, at the beginning of 2011 authorities were informed by the Sherman Avenue computer repair store that they uncovered traces of illegal activities involving youths stored on the device of a customer.

After obtaining a search warrant, members of the Hamden Police Department Computer Crimes Unit conducted a forensic examination on the computer and found enough evidence to incriminate 55-year-old Victor Corvari.

On December 19, the suspect turned himself in and was later released on bail. He is scheduled to appear at the Meriden Superior Court on January 3 where he will have to face charges of first-degree possession of adult materials that feature children.
