SILive.com is reporting independent professional wrestler Rude Boy Riley (James Riley) has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges after being arrested last March at his home.

Riley was busted on March 29 of last year after police found ten images on Riley’s iPhone that featured children under age 16 engaging in sexual acts. Additionally, it was determined Riley uploaded nine of those images to his Google account in 2014, with the other being posted on his Tumblr account.

He pled guilty in State Supreme Court this week to a felony count of “possessing a sexual performance by a child”, and he will now be placed on interim-supervision probation for two years. If he successfully completes his probation terms, he will be sentenced to five days in jail. Riley must now also register as a sex offender.

Riley was dropped from a number of independent bookings, and was fired from his job at Orange Theory Fitness as a trainer after news of his arrest went public.

Riley will return to court on April 18th, and he remains free on $3,500 bond. Andrew Weinstein, Riley’s lawyer, offered the following statement:

“Mr. Riley looks forward to putting this matter behind him and moving on with his life.”
