"On 1/16/19 the East Providence Police received a report of a possible molestation, where Golding was the suspect, which had occurred at an East Providence address from September 2017 and February 2018. SVU Detective, Michael Spremulli initiated an investigation into the allegations. With assistance from DCYF, RI Probation and Parole Office, and the RI Attorney General’s Office the East Providence Police concluded there was sufficient evidence to request an arrest warrant for Golding," said a Police press release.

At the same time East Providence Detectives executed a search warrant at the East Providence address.

Golding, who had a previous arrest for Possession of Child Pornography and is a registered Sex Offender, was located at 24 Cambridge Street by police and was taken into custody without incident. Additional evidence was located at that scene and the Providence Police will be adding charges against Golding. Several items of interest were also seized from the East Providence address and held as evidence.

Golding was arraigned on the charges on Thursday.
