Federal prosecutors released new details in the child porn arrest of a drag queen founder of a Pride group in central New York, and they are very disturbing.
Travis J. Longo, 46, of Cazenovia had been arrested over an alleged "pattern" of sexually explicit communications to a child under 12 years old, as previously reported by Blaze News.
'Drag is all about tearing down social norms. None of it is real.'
Police initially released few details in the case, but a federal criminal complaint reveals the disgusting content allegedly found on Longo's iPhone 17 Pro Max.
One photo of child sex abuse material was found that involved a child between 5 and 7 years, and three videos were found that involved infants, according to WSTM-TV.
Investigators also found chat messages on his phone where Longo admitted to others that he was sexually interested in children, including a male child he knew personally.
Longo was elected to the Cazenovia School District Board of Education in 2024 and was praised by LGBTQ+ supporters for being one of the first open drag queens to be elected into office.
He was initially charged with four misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and was later charged with receiving and possessing child pornography. He faces 20 years in prison if convicted for those charges and would also have to register as a sex offender.
Longo founded the Cazenovia Pride group to advocate the LGBTQ+ agenda, but the group has since disbanded and canceled a Pride parade event scheduled for June 27 over the heinous allegations.
The board unanimously voted for Longo to resign and gave him a deadline to do so before it took additional action.
He performed at drag shows under the persona "Anita Buffem" and has an Instagram account under that name with dozens of posts.

In Nov. 2025, Longo was invited to speak about his drag queen and school board experiences at Colgate University’s Center for Women’s Studies in Hamilton, New York.
"Drag is all about tearing down social norms. None of it is real. We are subscribing to these things, and I find such joy in doing that," he said at the time.
"I've realized these things, being LGBTQ, being ADHD, these things about me my whole life that have been something that makes me feel like I don't have value, are what make me so valuable," he is quoted as saying. "I implore younger people to lean into who [they] are."

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has suggested that the U.S. should completely change the way the winner of a presidential election is chosen.
Democrats have complained for decades that the Electoral College should be abolished after two recent elections swung to Republicans despite Democrats winning the majority vote.
'That should be a discussion that we should have. I don't think we should eliminate that as a point of discussion for potential action.'
Harris made the comments in an interview with Don Lemon released Friday.
"I think that there is some real shaking up that we have to do of the rules and the structure," Harris said to Lemon.
"Is that get rid of the Electoral College?" he replied.
"I think we should — that should be a discussion that we should have. I don't think we should eliminate that as a point of discussion for potential action," she tepidly responded.
A clip of her comments was posted to social media.
Harris lost the popular vote to Trump in 2024 by only 1.5 percentage points but got buried in the Electoral College count 312 to 226.
In 2016, Donald Trump won the Electoral College, while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, and George W. Bush also won the Electoral College in 2000, while Al Gore won the popular vote.
Proponents of the Electoral College argue that without it, presidential candidates would ignore smaller states and campaign only in large cities and states. They also point out that the change in campaigning means not all of the results would have flipped in elections where the popular-vote receiver lost.
Democrats proposed legislation in 2024 to end the Electoral College, which they said was unfair and biased against larger states.
"In an election, the person who gets the most votes should win. It's that simple," Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said at the time. "No one's vote should count for more based on where they live. The Electoral College is outdated and it's undemocratic. It's time to end it."
However, a constitutional amendment would be needed to change the electoral process.
Rutherford B. Hayes and John Quincy Adams were the other two presidents who benefited from the Electoral College despite failing to win the popular vote.
The vast majority of presidential elections are won by candidates who won both the Electoral College and popular vote.
