Drag queen who also works as youth counselor charged with 25 counts of child pornography

A Pennsylvania drag queen who counseled children at a "safe haven" for LGBTQ+ youth has been charged with 25 counts of child pornography, according to reports.

A criminal docket issued last week shows Brice Patric Ryschon Williams was charged with 25 counts of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. The sexually explicit content found in Williams' possession includes at least 49 photos and 25 videos of naked, prepubescent boys. The images showed "genitalia and boys performing sex acts," in some cases "with an adult man."

In addition to performing as a drag queen by the name of Anastasia Diamond, Williams is an HIV medical case manager at a local health center and last year joined GLO Harrisburg, a center that offers a “safe haven” for LGBTQ+ youth of color in central Pennsylvania. Williams was awarded the LGBT Center of Central PA Rising Star Award in 2020.
