That the accused began to “groom” the juvenile victim in an attempt to obtain pornographic images of children. Subsequent investigation revealed the accused to reside in Beverly, MA and Wilton Police worked with Beverly Police to obtain arrest warrants and search warrants.

On 10/17/2018 members of the Wilton Police Department went to Beverly, MA and served a search warrant on the accused’s home. Electronic evidence was seized and the accused was arrested in MA and charged as a Fugitive of Justice. He was extradited from MA to CT on 10/25/2018 and charged.

The members of the Wilton Police Department would like to thank the members of the Beverly Police Department for all of their assistance in locating and charging Mark Crowley.
