Klug had been out on bond, but officials revoked it after New Haven police began investigating him for similar crimes he is accused of committing while free on bond. In early March, prosecutors charged him with seven counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, five counts of child solicitation and two counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors.
