East Elmhurst man pleads guilty to possessing child porn

July 11, 2017 By Jason Cohen

An East Elmhurst man faces three years in prison and must register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to possessing video files of young children performing sex acts and an illegal firearm, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office.

Milton Hilario, 43, of 97th Street in East Elmhurst, pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and for being in the illegal possession of a weapon. He is likely to be sentenced on Sept. 26 to three years in prison and three years post release supervision, according to the Queens District Attorney’s office. He will also have to register as a sex offender.

According to the charges, the police made contact with Hilario via an IP address last October. On one instance, an investigator observed Hilario share a list of files, one depicting a man sexually abusing a girl who appears to be as young as 8-years old. Another was a video file of a female– believed to be as young as 3–being sexually assaulted as well.

Hilario admitted that he possessed photos and videos depicting children between the approximate age of three to 13-years-old in a sexual performance. He also admitted that he possessed a silver and black 9mm handgun and a magazine, which was loaded with six rounds of ammunition inside his dresser drawer and also.

Queens District Attorney condemned Hilario for his sex crimes.

“It is important for the public to remember that the images and videos being exchanged are, for all intents and purposes, photos and footage of crime scenes as they depict real children being cruelly victimized both physically and emotionally and who will have to carry the painful memory of that which occurred to them for the rest of their lives,” District Attorney Brown said.

Met Council leader warns of ‘catastrophe’ for low-income families in Queens due to lack of pandemic-era federal food aid

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
