DOVER, Del. - A Dover man charged with child sex abuse has been arrested again after Dover police say three additional victims have come forward.
Thomas Kennedy, 56, of Dover, was first arrested and charged with child sex abuse on July 30, 2025, after a juvenile victim told police Kennedy had inappropriately touched them. Police say they believed there may have been more victims at the time of the arrest and continued their investigation.
Authorities identified three additional victims through the investigation, according to Dover Police, and another arrest warrant was issued for Kennedy. On Thursday, Sept. 25, investigators say Kennedy turned himself into police.
