Released Thursday, February 2, 2017, that the 46 year old, dance photographer, Chris Reilly is facing one count of child receipt of child pornography after he apparently dowloaded inappropriate media onto a hard drive last month. He was reported by a data recovery firm that discovered videos of minors "engaged in sexually explicit conduct" on a hard drive. As of recently it was reported that none of his past clients were identifies in the images.
I found out about this news through a lot of my friends at dance. They have had photoshoots with him themselves and are shocked by this news. I believe that i do have a little bias toward this news due to knowing and following him through social media. This is important because it brings awareness to social media and the effects it can have. Reilly had an obscene amount of followers and a family and after this, he will most like not be able to have a career at all. This event could synthesize to yellow journalism is the fact that rumors have been spreading about his situation through social media just like rumors were spread around the time of the Spanish-American War.

Yikes, I heard about this and it made me so uncomfy. And I do agree that his chances of having a career after this are slim to none.
ReplyDeleteSo many of my good friends who have had many photoshoots with him. It scares me that this event is so close to the people we love.

ReplyDeleteI've had multiple photoshoots with him and it's surprising how someone that I have known and worked with has been accused of such a disgusting and disturbing crime!
