A 20-year-old Long Island man has been indicted for allegedly taking photos from social media accounts of more than a dozen women when they were in high and middle school, altering them to make them sexually explicit and then posting them on a pornographic website, Nassau County prosecutors said Thursday.
Patrick Carey also allegedly shared their personal identifying information and encouraged website users to harass and threaten the women with sexual violence. The Seaford man was indicted by a grand jury in late November and arraigned Thursday on felony charges of promoting a child’s sexual performance, possessing a child’s sexual performance and aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
According to the indictment, roughly 11 women contacted Nassau County detectives between January of this year and September to report they had found images of themselves on a pornographic website. Many of the women indicated that the images, taken when they were in high school and middle school, were re-posted on the website from their own social media platforms and altered to suggest they were engaging in sexual conduct.
