Trevor McKay of Larchmont was arrested Thursday, Dec. 19 by the District Attorney’s Office Criminal Investigators and arraigned in New Rochelle City Court.
He was charged with promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, a Class D felony, and possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, a Class E felony, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced on Thursday, Dec. 26.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received incident information from Google about “child pornography” that had been sent through their server, Scarpino said.
Google informed NCMEC that a person using an email account had uploaded images of child pornography. The user of that email account was using a mobile telephone at the time of the upload, Scarpino added.
The New York State Police, which staffs the NYS Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), reviewed the case and received a response from the telephone provider about the user of the mobile telephone.
The information was forwarded to the Westchester District Attorney’s Office Cybercrime Bureau, which launched an investigation.
The DA’s Investigators executed a search warrant at McKay’s residence.
The felony complaint alleges, at least one image of child sexual exploitation was found on his computers and mobile devices.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Delohery, Chief of the Investigations Division Cybercrime Bureau, is prosecuting the case.
McKay was released on his own recognizance. His next court appearance is set for Monday, Jan. 6.
