A KIDS' magician has been arrested by police after recovering disturbing images on his computer.

Officers also unearthed a pair of girls’ underwear at the home of Scott Morley, 48 - the former proprietor of Morley’s Magic Theater in Butler, New Jersey.

Cops swooped in to arrest the performer on May 15 on suspicion of possession of images of child sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.

A subsequent investigation was launched following an anonymous tip that Morley might be in possession of such materials, the prosecutor added.

An affidavit alleged how Mr Morley told cops he had “approximately 50 questionable images” on his phone, but several” more on different devices, the New York Post reported.

Morley - dubbed Morley the Magician - had reportedly previously been working children's' birthday parties in the local area.

He and his soon-to-be ex-wife also owned and operated Morley’s Magic Shop in Butler since 2014, offering after-school programs and magic and puppet-making workshops.

Morley’s estranged wife, Britni Morley, sits on Butler‘s borough council.

While she has not been charged with any crimes, seven Butler parents who spoke to The Post on condition of anonymity accused her of knowing about her ex-husband’s crimes and demand she steps down.

The Morleys share two young daughters, and all four performed as an act until late last year.

The couple separated in February and Britni filed for divorce in March.

The witness was hired to paint the theater inside Morley’s Magic Shop, and completed the job in 2022.

At some point during the renovation, the worker allegedly stumbled upon a bag containing the underwear and a number of USB flash drives.


The purported witness, authorities allege in the affidavit, confronted Morley about the horrific find, and the magician began smashing the thumb drives with a hammer.
