RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A man who called himself “Long Island’s Favorite Magician” has pleaded guilty to 108 counts of unlawful surveillance and possession of child pornography.
Suffolk County prosecutors say Robert Infantino admitted he secretly videotaped women and girls in a photo studio dressing room at his Central Islip (EYE’-slihp) home. The child pornography charges were filed after investigators said they found hundreds of images on his computer hard drive.
He admitted to 44 counts of unlawful surveillance and 64 child porn counts.
Besides working as a photographer, prosecutors say he performed as “Bob Infantino, Long Island’s Favorite Magician.”
Infantino, who is 52, faces 5 to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 29.
