Princeton Graduate and Former Queer Alumni Club Leader Faces Charges for Possession of Child Pornography

A shocking incident has rocked the prestigious Princeton University community as a former graduate and leader of the Queer Alumni Club, Roy “Trey” Farmer, faces charges for possession of child pornography. The 53-year-old was arrested after police raided his condominium located next to the main entrance of the Ivy League institution.

According to reports, Farmer was charged with third-degree possession of child sexual abuse material after authorities received a tip indicating that a Mercer County resident had uploaded explicit content involving children. Law enforcement conducted a thorough search of Farmer’s condo and confiscated multiple pieces of potential evidence in the case.

Despite the disturbing allegations against him, Farmer has had an extensive involvement in various organizations at Princeton. He recently became the president of the Queer Princeton Alumni, formerly known as the Bisexual, Transgender, Gay and Lesbian Association. Farmer’s dedication to bringing Princetonians together was evident when he expressed during an Alumni Spotlight interview that “good things happen when you bring Princetonians together.” He believed in the power of connecting like-minded individuals who are passionate about volunteering and making a difference in society.

Farmer’s contributions extended beyond the Queer Princeton Alumni. He served as the president of the Princeton University Glee Club Foundation and actively participated in Princeton Internships in Civic Service and Princeton of Southwest Florida. His commitment to these organizations showcased his belief in the importance of networking and connecting interesting individuals across various fields.

Notably, Farmer’s academic achievements also added to his reputation. In addition to his graduation from Princeton in 1993, he earned master’s degrees from both Yale and Harvard. Farmer’s professional background included working in the telecom industry before transitioning to private equity. He also owned art festivals that spanned the globe, showcasing his diverse interests and entrepreneurial spirit.

It is important to note that Farmer was a volunteer at Princeton rather than an employee. This distinction highlights that his involvement in the university’s organizations was driven by his passion for networking and creating meaningful connections among Princeton alumni.

As the legal proceedings unfold, there will be a hearing to determine whether Farmer should be detained prior to his trial. Prosecutors have filed a motion to keep him in detention, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges he faces.

The shocking arrest of Farmer has undoubtedly left the Princeton community reeling. It serves as a reminder that even individuals with impressive achievements and involvement in prestigious organizations can face serious legal consequences. As the case progresses, the spotlight remains on the importance of safeguarding society’s most vulnerable members and ensuring that justice is served.
