MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO-AM) - A member of the Lincoln Stars hockey team accused of using a minor to make a sex video in Moorhead appeared in court Thursday. Nineteen-year-old Thomas Carey is charged with using a minor in a sexual performance, possession of child pornography and distributing child pornography.
Prosecutors say Carey and 19-year-old teammate Brandon Smith made the video in a Moorhead motel room in February.
Carey’s attorney, Bruce Quick, said “when the facts come out in this case, there’s going to be a vastly different perception of this matter than what probably exists after reading the probable cause statement.”
Carey was released on condition that he avoids contact with the victim and makes future court appearances
