Connecticut state police have arrested a local television meteorologist on child porn charges.

Police said Justin Goldstein, 33, of Hamden, was arrested at his place of work, WTNH-TV, in New Haven Wednesday. He has been charged with first-degree possession of child pornography and promoting a minor in an obscene performance, police said.

The investigation began in June when videos of suspected child pornography were downloaded from an account assigned to Goldstein, according to a news release from police.

Investigators went to Goldstein's home on Aspen Glen Drive in Hamden Wednesday to execute a search warrant and police said they seized various computer equipment and found files of suspected child porn at the scene.

Goldstein was released on a $200,000 surety bond and expected in court in Meriden on July 26.

WTNH-TV confirmed his arrest and released the following statement.

"We are deeply concerned by the allegations," Mark Higgins, general manager of WTNH-TV, said. "Until the matter is resolved, Justin Goldstein is suspended from his duties at WTNH."

It wasn't immediately clear if Goldstein had an attorney.
