Drag queen who also works as youth counselor charged with 25 counts of child pornography

A Pennsylvania drag queen who counseled children at a "safe haven" for LGBTQ+ youth has been charged with 25 counts of child pornography, according to reports.

A criminal docket issued last week shows Brice Patric Ryschon Williams was charged with 25 counts of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. The sexually explicit content found in Williams' possession includes at least 49 photos and 25 videos of naked, prepubescent boys. The images showed "genitalia and boys performing sex acts," in some cases "with an adult man."

In addition to performing as a drag queen by the name of Anastasia Diamond, Williams is an HIV medical case manager at a local health center and last year joined GLO Harrisburg, a center that offers a “safe haven” for LGBTQ+ youth of color in central Pennsylvania. Williams was awarded the LGBT Center of Central PA Rising Star Award in 2020.

“I feel as though this is so important because I know there are little kids like me who are queer who are black who are still not able to look up to anyone. So that’s the reason why I got into this line of work. I wanted to make ... a big impact for folks in my community," Williams told a local Pennsylvania news outlet last year.

A video clip posted on Instagram also appears to show Williams performing for children in 2017.

What parent takes their child to a drag show, you ask? That's exactly what BlazeTV host Allie Stuckey wanted to know after learning that a bar in Dallas, Texas, hosted a drag show geared especially for kids.

"This should be criminalized! This should be illegal! Every Republican legislator and every Republican governor should, right now, be drafting a bill to make this kind of thing illegal," Allie stated.
