MERIDEN, CT. (WFSB) - A 61-year-old man was arrested for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old in Meriden.

Kenny Holley was charged with two counts of 4th degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury/impairing the morals of children following an investigation by the Special Crimes Unit, according to the Meriden Police Department.

The investigation began in June 2024 after police received a complaint alleging that Holley had sexually assaulted the child on more than one occasion. Police conducted an investigation and did DNA testing, which led to an arrest warrant being obtained for Holley.

Holley appeared to have fled Connecticut but was located in North Carolina, where he lived. He was extradited back to Connecticut on Tuesday.

He was held on a $500,000 bond.
