Greensboro magician suspected of child pornography

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A Greensboro magician is suspected of being involved with child pornography, police officials said Friday.

Detectives searched 1036 Hill St. after receiving a credible anonymous tip that Randolph Milton Williams, 64, was allegedly downloading pornographic images of children from the internet, according to a news release.
A search of Williams’ residence resulted in detectives seizing his computer and a collection of videos and disks suspected to contain explicit sexual images of underage children.
Greensboro police are warning the public to be careful.
Detectives are in the early stages of examining the material to determine the extent of Williams’ involvement in the pornography and they cannot yet determine whether or not he was manufacturing pornography, or viewing existing images.
While searching the home, detectives also found items indicating that Williams may freelance as a children’s’ entertainer by performing magic tricks and telling jokes. He may use the name of “Mr. Funny”.
Some illegal narcotics were also located in the home and he was charged with maintaining a dwelling for unlawfully keeping or selling a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. He was released from the Guilford County Jail with a promise to appear in court.
Anyone with information about Williams or his conduct around children is asked to call Det. Flinchum at (336) 574-4006.

May freelance. May use the name "Mr. Funny".

If it turns out he's not a magician, merely another censored, I wonder if there will be headlines appropriate to the fact.
Rhetorical question.
