According to the New York Post, an employee of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and someone considered a “leading young Democrat” was arrested for child pornography.

From the Post:

Jacob Schwartz, 29, was busted for allegedly keeping more than 3,000 disgusting images and 89 videos on a laptop after downloading the filth from the internet.

The illegal smut shows “young nude females between the approximate ages of 6 months and 16, engaging in sexual conduct… on an adult male,” court papers say.

Schwartz surrendered to police on Thursday morning after a two-month investigation and handed over his laptop. He is the president of the Manhattan Young Democrats and a region vice president of the New York State Young Democrats. Working as a computer programmer for the city’s Department of Design and Construction, Schwartz was paid over $66,000 per year and worked on the Hurricane Sandy recovery projects.

His father, Arthur Schwartz, is a labor lawyer and Democratic insider, the Post noted. He was counsel to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign and was the campaign treasurer for liberal activist Zephyr Teachout’s failed campaign against NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The younger Schwartz posted a picture of himself alongside Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook.

“Arthur Schwartz also had his own brush with the law in 2015, when he was busted for removing hidden surveillance cameras trained on the front door of a $700-a-month, rent-stabilized apartment occupied by a 93-year-old client battling her landlord,” the Post added.

“Jacob Schwartz was charged with promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child under 16, both felonies, and released on $7,500 bail.”

His father called his son's arrest "a personal tragedy" and said his son is "already in therapy for this."
