    The only details released were that he was arrested for possession of underage pornography. That could be depicting someone who is 17 or 7. He has not been convicted of anything at this time.

      Possession and dissemination.

      Also, the definition of “POSSESSING A SEXUAL PERFORMANCE BY A CHILD” under New York Penal Law § 263.16 specifies “any performance which includes sexual conduct by a child less than sixteen years of age.

      Yes, he hasn’t been convicted of anything, but the accusation is that he shared sexually explicit images of a child who was 15 or younger.
