A former Yale University police officer is scheduled to be sentenced after pleading guilty to receiving child sexual abuse material, officials said.
Otilo Green, 44, of Hamden, pleaded guilty Friday in New Haven federal court to a child exploitation offense, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Connecticut.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between January and March 2025, Synchronoss, a cloud storage provider for Verizon Wireless, submitted eight CyberTipline reports documenting 43 images and five videos of suspected child pornography uploaded to an account associated with Green.
A subsequent court-authorized search of Green’s cloud storage account revealed additional images and videos of suspected child sex abuse material. The investigation further revealed that, for at least two years prior to his arrest on April 4, 2025, Green used the Telegram app, which he accessed through a hidden folder on his cellphone, and other online platforms to communicate with others to receive numerous sexually explicit images and videos depicting child sex abuse materials.
At the time of his arrest, Green was employed as an officer with the Yale University Police Department, according to officials.
Green pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum term of five years in prison and a maximum term of 20 years, officials said.
Green was released on a $200,000 bond and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 26.
