ROCKVILLE, Conn. - The arrest warrant for an East Haddam man alleges he videotaped his sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl.

Sixty-year-old Stephen Turkington was charged earlier this week with two counts of employing a minor in an obscene performance and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.

Investigators say Turkington was spotted on video that investigators say showed 60-year-old Craig Niles of Stafford, sexually abusing the girl who had been placed in his home by a foster care agency.

The girl was a ward of the state Department of Children and Families.

Niles, arrested last month, is charged with sexual assault as well as employing and promoting a minor in an obscene performance.
