Schneider has been charged with three counts of Possessing or Accessing with Intent to View an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child Less Than 16 Years of Age, a Class E felony.

The investigation involved the New York State Police Troop F Computer Crimes Unit, the Troop F Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Haverstraw, the Troop F Community Stabilization Unit, the Troop F Violent Gang and Narcotics Enforcement Team, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and the Town of Clarkstown Police Department.

Schneider was issued an appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in Clarkstown Town Court on Aug. 24, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.
