## Summary

Former Hamptons law firm partner Eric Nelson Brown, 61, has been charged with 11 felony counts of possessing pornography involving children. The allegations emerged after a technician reportedly found images on his work computer during a system upgrade, prompting the firm to contact police.

Authorities say a search of Brown’s East Hampton home uncovered thousands more images and videos. Brown has pleaded not guilty, and investigators say they have found no evidence so far that he produced or distributed the material. A judge ordered him to report to probation; New York law meant he could not be held without bail. Brown later moved to Vermont, and his former home is listed for $1.45 million.
