NY Philharmonic board member is arrested for child porn
NewsMedia in Princeton, New Jersey, are reporting that Roy ‘Trey’ Farmer was arrested and charged on March 22 with possession of child sexual abuse material.
Farmer, 53, is listed as president of Princeton University Glee Club Foundation and of Queer Princeton Alumni, active as a singer and a pianist. He also serves as ‘Roy (Trey) D. Farmer III’ on the board of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

do they not check peoples
background.
How would a background check show this if he hadn’t been charged previously?
Ironic, given the recent major sexual scandal in the New York Phil. Allegations of a drug rape of a colleague and the apparently bungled handing of the situation by the administration.
(Just askin’): is it ironic or symptomatic?
That didn’t happen.
A name to your assertion might give it at least a bit of weight.
William forgot to change to his sock puppet account when replying to himself.
Not ironic, consequence of.
Since losing the arbitration in which the Philharmonic had to reinstate the 2 fired players with full back pay, it has little room to ignore due process and presumption of innocence of its board members so that they have to keep *alleged* child pornographers on the board and on their website for all to see. (I wonder how he voted as Board member relating to the arbitration of the 2 *alleged* drug rapists.)
On the other hand, for the Princeton, Harvard, Yale glee clubs, on the other hand, it’d be the kiss of death to be associated with even an *alleged* gay pedophile.
What I don’t understand is why is this guy on so many boards, including no less the NY Philharmonic?? Has anyone ever heard of him in either financial or musical circles?? He seems to be, at most, a prolific Ivy League glee club singer, is that a thing?
“it has little room to ignore due process and presumption of innocence”
Your proposal is that those things should be ignored?
