Former Allen & Overy (A&O) capital markets partner Edward De Sear has been arrested on additional child pornography charges, a year after he was charged by federal prosecutors in New Jersey with distributing child porn, reports The Am Law Daily.

De Sear, who joined A&O’s New York office in August 2010 from Bingham McCutchen, appeared in US district court in Newark, New Jersey on Thursday (23 August), where he was charged with three counts of advertising child pornography, four counts of distribution, and one count of possession, according to a press release from the US Attorney’s office in Newark.
