2nd Suspect Arrested In Child Porn Case

1st Suspect Arrested In November

December 17, 2008

EAST HADDAM, Conn. -- Connecticut State Police have arrested an East Haddam man as the second suspect in a child pornography investigation.

Steven Turkington, 60, is charged with employing a minor in an obscene material performance, risk of injury to a minor and two counts of conspiracy.

Connecticut State Police said Turkington's arrest is tied to the November arrest of 60-year-old Craig Niles, of Stafford.

Niles is facing several charges, including first-degree sexual assault, fourth-degree sexual assault, employing a minor in an obscene material performance and 20 counts of risk of injury to a minor and first-degree possession of child pornography.

The Department of Children and Families said Niles is a licensed foster parent who works through a private agency that contracts with the DCF.

Information on the case is limited because the affidavit of the investigation is sealed.
