Former Planned Parenthood staffer commits suicide after police raid, child pornography charges

Police say Tim Yergeau took his own life days after cops raided his home in connection with a child pornography investigation. Yergeau had worked for Planned Parenthood.

Tim Yergeau had previously worked as the strategic communications director for Planned Parenthood's Southern New England branch. While police have not specifically named Yergeau as the suspect in their child pornography investigation, local media has confirmed he was the intended target of a botched police raid on April 6.

"The person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide," New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson told the New Haven Registrar.

The New Haven Police Special Victims Unit conducted a raid on what it thought was Yergeau's residence five days prior to Yergeau's Tuesday suicide, but instead broke down the door of his upstairs neighbor, Stacey Wezenter. Police handcuffed Wezenter and questioned her about Yergeau's whereabouts, before seeing her young son's toys around the apartment and realizing their mistake.
