N.Y. City employee arrested for child pornography
By Larry Celona, Rebecca Rosenberg and Bruce Golding 
A leading young Democrat and N.Y. City employee has a secret taste for sickening kiddie porn that involves baby girls as young as 6 months old, court papers revealed Friday.
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’s father — labor lawyer and Democratic insider Arthur Schwartz — called his son’s case “a personal tragedy.”
“I understand these are serious charges,” said the elder Schwartz, who watched his son get arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday night.
“He’s already in therapy for this.”
Jacob Schwartz surrendered to NYPD computer-crimes investigators in Manhattan’s 13th Precinct on Thursday morning, sources said.
He’d been under investigation since March 29, when he handed over his laptop and gave cops written permission to search it, court papers say.
Jacob Schwartz is the president of the Manhattan Young Democrats and the downstate region vice president of the New York State Young Democrats.
But his name and photo were scrubbed from both groups’ Web sites after The Post broke the news of his arrest.
A statement from the Manhattan Young Democrats said the organization was “shocked” by the allegations against Schwartz, and added that he was “no longer a member of the board, and an interim president is now in place.”
A photo posted last year on Twitter shows him posing with Robby Mook, then the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Schwartz is employed as a $66,360-a-year computer programmer analyst in the city Department of Design and Construction, where he works on the “Build It Back” Hurricane Sandy recovery and resiliency program.
De Blasio ignored questions about his arrest following a news conference in The Bronx, but a spokeswoman later said Schwartz “is being terminated immediately, and the agency is cooperating with investigators.”
According to his online biography, Schwartz got involved in politics at a young age, helping his father campaign for Democratic district leader in Greenwich Village.
The elder Schwartz served as New York counsel to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ failed presidential campaign, and was also the campaign treasurer for law professor and liberal activist Zephyr Teachout when she challenged Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the 2014 Democratic nomination.
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.
Prosecutors agreed to drop felony grand larceny charges in exchange for Arthur Schwartz paying $720 in restitution.
Jacob Schwartz attended Lehigh University, where he was a member of the “On Tap” a capella singing group, which later scored a gig on the Celebrity Infinity cruise ship.
The all-male quartet scored high marks on the “Cruise Critic” website, where a member from Denmark wrote in 2013, “we really enjoyed the On Tap boys on our Infinity cruise to Alaska.”
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.
Man sentenced for child sexual offences in
Abbotsford and Mission
Another unfortunate hometown story. I live in Abbotsford and Mission is just a few miles away across the Fraser River
VIKKI HOPES, The Abbotsford News
A man who was charged with 12 child sexual offences in Mission and five in Abbotsford has been sentenced to 14 months in prison on seven of the charges.
Andrew Douglas Felling, 36, was sentenced May 17 in Abbotsford provincial court on four of the Mission charges – sexual interference of a person under 14, sexual interference of a person under 16 and two counts of making or publishing child porn.
He was also sentenced on three of the Abbotsford charges – sexual interference, possessing child porn, and making or publishing child porn.
The remaining charges – all similar to the ones to which he pleaded guilty – were stayed.
Another slap on the wrist sentence
It appears that he had a 'summary' conviction as opposed to an indictable offence. Summary convictions or not very serious and result in 'slap on the wrist' type of sentences.
It will be some time before we know how much damage has been done to these children by his 'sexual interference', but, for some, it's a good bet that they will suffer a lot longer than 14 months. But children have no voice! They can't or won't speak up in court and explain how badly they have been messed up by the pervert who abused them. Most of them don't even know until many years later.
All crimes involving the physical touching of a child, whether directly or through viewing it online, should be considered indictable offenses and the perverts should be put away for years and forced to undergo counselling before being eligible for parole.
Felling first came to police attention in Abbotsford, when he was charged with five offences in December 2013 and January 2014.
The charges were laid after an investigator with the Abbotsford Police Department was searching online for images of child sexual abuse.
He was able to trace the IP address of certain images to Felling’s residence in Abbotsford, and a search warrant was executed there, resulting in the seizure of evidence that he had sexually interfered with a youth.
Felling pleaded guilty in November 2014, but sentencing was delayed as police continued their investigation.
Felling was charged in August 2015 with nine offences in Mission. Three more charges were later added.

Laughing Afghan refugees are guilty of gang-raping girl, 16, in flat above kebab shop after she stopped to ask for directions
Tamin Rahmani, Shershah Muslimyar, Rafiullah Hamidy and Hamid Mohamadi have been found guilty
A group of men who gang-raped a lost 16-year-old girl above a takeaway have been found guilty.
The girl had asked for directions when she was taken to the room and subjected to a 'frightening ordeal' by the four men.
She was on her way home from a night out in Ramsgate, Kent, when the men picked her up.
Prosecutor Simon Taylor told Canterbury Crown Court that after pushing the girl onto a mattress they carried out multiple rapes 'and laughed as they put her through the ordeal'.
Rafiullah Hamidy and three other men have been found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl
The four men allegedly took her into the room with just a mattress on the floor before tuning off the lights so she would not recognise them.
The trial faced protests by far-right groups including Britain First and EDL founder Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson.
Shershah Muslimyar, 20, of Canterbury, restaurant owner Tamin Rahani, 37, of Ramsgate, Rafiullah Hamidy, 24, of no fixed address and Hamid Mohamadi, 18, from Wye, all denied three charges of rape.
A jury took two days to find the four guilty on all charges, and they were remanded in custody pending reports on the danger they pose before sentencing in July.
But now he has been assessed as being 18.
Mr Taylor told the court: 'The girl was undoubtedly drunk and was walking the streets alone late at night.'
'The Crown's case is that her drunkenness, youth and vulnerability would have been recognised by the defendants.'
'And it was these factors that they took advantage of in the couple of hours that followed.'
The girl was taken to the home of Rahani, a flat above the 555 Pizza and Kebab shop, where the horrific attack took place
'Through drink, and most likely the trauma of what happened to her, she was unable to provide any detailed descriptions.
'The girl had found herself in a room of the second floor above a takeaway.
'In that grubby room, with an uncovered mattress on the floor, multiple males had sex with the teenager.
'She says that she did not consent.
'Indeed, you may well conclude that she was too drunk to give any true consent to any sexual intercourse in any event.
'But what is clear is that each of the men took the opportunity to have a little 'fun' at her expense.'
The victim told the jury: 'I'm not sure how many were in the room; think there were four or five of them.
'They were all like push, pushing, pushing me like to each other.
'One of them pushed me onto the bed. They were all laughing.
'They were laughing as they walked over, I think there was one or two by the door.
'I can't remember much after that to be honest, they kept swapping over, they were having sex.
'I told them to stop. I moved but they just carried on.'
After the attacks, she was 'escorted' out of the property by one of the men 'and left to roam the streets alone'.
The girl was found 'sobbing and distressed' by a woman returning home and taken into her home for safety.
