A Milwaukee children's court judge and father of two with ties to "Drag Queen Story Hour" was arrested after allegedly being caught with videos showing children being raped, officials said.

Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Brett Blomme, 38, was charged with seven counts of possession of child pornography on Wednesday, a day after his arrest. Each count carries a maximum fine of $100,000 and 25 years in prison, or both, and each has a mandatory minimum sentence of three years of initial confinement. Blomme is the former president of the Cream City Foundation, which hosts “Drag Queen Story Hour,” a children's event in which drag queens read to children.

"The allegations are alarming," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said in a statement. "The reports of the arrest came as a complete surprise."
