New Yorker cartoonist arrested on child porn charges: cops
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. Earlier this year, the famed illustrator’s son, Render Stetson-Shanahan, was sentenced to between five and 15 years in prison in the brutal 2016 stabbing death of his Queens roommate Carolyn Bush . Shanahan couldn’t be reached by phone or email on Wednesday night and didn’t immediately return a Facebook message seeking comment.
