MERIDEN, CT — A 61-year-old man has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old child on multiple occasions.
Kenny Holley was taken into custody in North Carolina on Oct. 16 after an investigation that began in June 2024.
The Meriden Police Department’s Special Crimes Unit began investigating a complaint alleging Holley sexually assaulted the child more than once.
Following an investigation and DNA testing, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Holley.
He was formally charged with two counts of sexual assault in the fourth degree and two counts of risk of injury/impairing the morals of children.
Holley had apparently fled Connecticut to North Carolina, where he resides, according to police.
Local authorities in North Carolina arrested Holley, and he was extradited back to Connecticut on Oct. 28.
He is being held on a $500,000 court-set bond.
