A drag queen from central Pennsylvania who worked closely with LGBT youth has been charged with 25 counts of child pornography, according to law enforcement.
Brice Williams, a 26-year-old resident of Chambersburg, was allegedly found with at least 49 photos and 25 videos of nude, prepubescent boys that were downloaded between the months of May and December 2020.
The affidavit claims that some of the videos included boys performing sex acts on each other, or even being violated by an adult man. Their ages have not been specified by authorities. The illicit porno was allegedly downloaded by Williams under the handle “Ana D,” and his drag queen persona is “Anastasia Diamond.”
Williams had previously been celebrated by the fake news media and the LGBT community as a heroic organizer who concentrated on the youth.
“I feel as though this is so important because I know there are little kids like me who are queer who are Black who are still not able to look up to anyone,” Williams said during a PennLive profile in 2021. “So that’s the reason why I got into this line of work. I wanted to make … a big impact for folks in my community.”
Additionally, Williams was given a Rising Star Award from the LGBT Center of Central Pennsylvania in 2020 for his “significant contributions in a short period of time.”
