An LGBTQ activist who led Princeton University’s Queer Alumni Club, and also held degrees from Yale and Harvard, has been accused of downloading child pornography

Roy “Trey” Farmer, 53, was charged with a count of third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material after Mercer County, New Jersey prosecutors received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that he’d downloaded a file depicting child sexual abuse, according to NJ.com. 

Police found pieces of evidence after searching his condo in Princeton near the school’s main entrance on Friday, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Prosecutors filed a motion to keep Farmer behind bars before his day in court, with a preliminary hearing delayed until next week, Patch.com reported.

“Piano prodigy” Farmer, who sits on the board of the New York Philharmonic and was formerly president of Princeton’s Glee Club, has since had his biography removed from the Ivy League school’s website.

The prominent Florida banker and entrepreneur is also the chairman of the StayInMay Festival, which has held more than 300 events in Naples over the past decade, according to the festival’s website. He owned a number of art festivals worldwide, according to his bio.
