David St. George, a former artistic adviser to the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for possession of child pornography.
He pleaded guilty in March.“The child sexual abuse materials that St. George possessed captured the horrific abuse of children,” said Matthew Millhollin, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England. “Searches of his home and electronics revealed he possessed thousands of these images while he was employed by the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.”According to the U.S.
