If the rumors are, in fact, true and as long as he committed no assaults against children then is the mere possession of child porn a crime? Isn't that thought crime?
Also, the SCOTUS has been unable to define "pornography." If they can't define it then who else feels that they can?
Everyone has their own definition of "pornography." No doubt Jerry Falwell thinks an exposed female ankle is pornography.
Just food for thought.....

If it is kiddie porn this guy is in big trouble. It is beyond heinous when innocent children are used and abused by porno profiteers.

Possession of child pornography (simple definition, they're naked and/or they're involved in a sex act) is a federal crime. A child is defined as anyone under 18.
Because child pornography is covered by federal law and "age of consent" is state law, if the AOC in your state is 16, its legal to have sex with a 17 year old girl, but if you take a nude picture of her, you've just committed a federal felony.
