Director of many episodes of "Law & Order" Jace Alexander has pleaded guilty of child pornography. Westchester County District Attorney's office said so Tuesday.
The Wrap reported that Jason "Jace" Alexander, of Dobbs Ferry, New York, pleaded guilty to one count of promoting a sexual performance and one count of possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, both felonies. Those charges were because of him possessing and file-sharing unlawful and obscene piece of show of sexual conduct by children less than 17 years old.
According to ABC News, prosecutors said they found digital files of minors showing and engaging in sex acts on the director's computers at the director's Dobbs Ferry, New York, home. Alexander is on bail as of the moment. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May three. His sentence could go up to seven years in state prison.
The director is known for directing 32 episodes of "Law and Order" since the 1990's as US Magazine stated. The TV veteran is also known for directing top shows like "The Blacklist", "The Tomorrow People", "Raising Hope", "Lipstick Jungle", "Royal Pains", "Rescue Me", "Burn Notice" and "Lizzie McGuire".
Last year July, Alexander was arrested. After an investigator downloaded child porn from an IP address in Westchester County, it was later revealed that it was assigned to Alexander's home. According to the DA, a search warrant was then carried out. They searched at Alexander's home address using a forensic examination of computers and external hard drives. The removed files from the location then showed digital files of children engaged in child pornography.
It was not the first time someone from the entertainment industry was caught with child pornography. "Glee" star Mark Salling was also arrested for possessing child pornography. Also, not only the two of them were caught red handed but many other people from the industry.
