I appreciate respect for my family's privacy during this difficult time."

He is accused of repeatedly traveling to New York City to engage in sex with minors, as well as possessing and distributing child pornography.

The charges, which involve 14 minors, date back to 2007. His marriage to his wife was in 2010.
