Greenwich Man Charged With Possession of Child Pornography

A 20-year-old Greenwich man was charged with possession of child pornography after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led police to obtain search warrants for the home of John Zimmel.

Police said they searched Zimmel’s home on Wildwood Drive in Greenwich on May 5, seized several digital storage devices and found more than 130 videos and 60 images of children engaged in sexually explicit acts.

Police said they also found several online chats about fantasy sex acts with children.

Zimmel was arrested Sunday and was charged with possession of child pornography in the first degree.

He posted a $100,000 bond and he is due in court on July 30, according to police.
