FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - A clown who goes by the name of ``Spanky=B4=B4 has
been arrested on child pornography charges while traveling with the
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, federal agents said.
Thomas Riccio, 23, of Jacksonville, Fla., was arrested Friday by
Fayetteville police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents
to face 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, the federal agency
said Tuesday.
Leads from a federal investigation in New Jersey linked Riccio to a
company in Belarus that provided credit card billing services for more
than 50 child pornography Web sites internationally, said Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement spokesman Dean Boyd.
Police and federal agents searched Riccio's computer and found thousands
of images, many involving young children participating in sexual acts,
authorities said.
About 100 people have been arrested in the United States based on the
Belarus investigation and 100 others were arrested in Denmark earlier
this year, he said.
