Child porn search warrant executed at Plainville home

PLAINVILLE, CT (WFSB) - A search warrant related to child pornography was executed at a home in Plainville on Monday morning.

Police were at a home on the corner of Metacomet and Seneca roads.

Neighbors told Channel 3 that a couple lives in the home and that a woman there is a school teacher for the middle school in Plainville.

Police said they have no reason to believe that she is involved.

Eyewitness News reached out to the Plainville Public Schools District. It said it will not be putting out any information at this time.

Neighbors said they were shocked because the neighborhood is quiet.

“What goes on in the internet is underground, it’s a system people belong to, the dark side so to speak,” said John Paul Thomas, a neighbor. “I’m shocked as anyone would be to know what goes on in your neighborhood.”

Joseph Wiszniak has lived in the neighborhood for 38 years. His kids had that teacher.

“In middle school they had her for music and that’s all I know,” Wiszniak said.

Wiszniak said he didn’t think he’d ever wake up and hear news like this so close to home.

“Very friendly, everyone’s very friendly, everyone walks around and has no fears,” said Wiszniak.

“As far as I’m concerned these people were good, family-minded, wholesome people, a couple,” Thomas said.

Police have not said if the teacher’s husband is involved or someone else who lives at the home.

“Kind of look out for each other, it’s nice,” said Wiszniak.

Two people were quickly at the home Monday afternoon well after police left. When Eyewitness News went to go talk with them, they drove away.

No other details were released.
