State Police Arrested New York Cartoonist on Child Porn Charges
A cartoonist famous for his work in The New Yorker was arrested Wednesday on child pornography charges, state police said.
Rhinebeck resident Danny Shanahan, 64, was charged with possession of a sexual performance by a child, cops said in a statement.
The kiddie porn was allegedly found on his computer after Village of Rhinebeck Police obtained a warrant to search it, the Daily Voice reported.
Police didn’t say what prompted the investigation or provide any details about the case.
Shanahan — whose work most recently appeared in the magazine in February — was released and issued a ticket to appear in the Village of Rhinebeck Court on Jan. 20.
