Jordan was initially charged with six counts of using a child in a s*xual performance, but as the investigation progressed, more charges were added, including four counts of promoting a s*xual performance by a child, child endangerment, and disseminating indecent material to minors.

Suffolk County Police reported that in April, at the studio, Jordan Viscomi allegedly befriended the students, and over a three-day period, he engaged both of them in live video chats and texts, in which s*xual content was exchanged.
Suffolk County Police arrested Jordan during a traffic stop near his residence in Centereach, New York, and was held overnight at the sixth Precinct in Selden.
On May 18, 2023, Jordan made his first appearance at First District Court in Central Islip, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
NBC New York reported that the judge set bail at $250,000 for each count, which Jordan's attorney claimed to be exorbitant and pledged to fight the charges.
As per the report by NBC New York, Jordan's attorney, Steve Politi said:
"Not only is my client presumed innocent, he’s actually innocent. Everything that I’ve been told is he’s an exceptional young man who has never done anything wrong in his entire life...he willingly turned over all his devices to the government."
Authorities believe there may be more victims and are requesting anyone who might have been harassed by Jordan Viscomi to reach out to the detectives.
