Bethel man arrested for possession of child porn, computer crimes

A Bethel man has been arrested for possession of child pornography and risk of injury to a minor, among other charges.  Southbury Police received a complaint from a 25-year old woman in 2018 about being harassed on SnapChat by someone who logged into her account and sent her her own photographs with a short video containing inappropriate material. 

Southbury Police were able to locate the physical address that was associated with the Internet Service Provider user.  Last February, police carried out a search warrant at the Bethel home of 29-year old Kyle Coffey. 

Multiple electronic devices, compact discs and USB sticks were seized and contained evidence that Coffey had stolen or attempted to steal photographs of multiple females by hacking their email or SnapChat accounts.  The victims were contacted and made aware of the breach. 

During the forensic search, Southbury Police discovered multiple images and videos of child pornography.
