During the months of March through October in 2010, the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit was involved in a criminal investigation into child pornography distribution, importation and possession in the town of Wolcott CT.

On November 24, 2010, the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit, assisted by the Wolcott Police Department, executed a search and seizure warrant at a private home located at 24 Lone Oak Avenue, in Wolcott CT.

During the execution of the Search Warrant, several items of evidence were seized and transported to the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes and Electronic Evidence Laboratory for further investigative examination.

The analysis of the seized evidence and the criminal investigation determined that an arrest warrant should be sought for the arrest of Anthony J Tomasiello for crimes related to child pornography.
