Day Camp employee charged in 112 counts of denovo indictment alleging sex crimes and the possession of child pornography 
 
        A 34-year-old Oakdale man pleaded not guilty yesterday in Suffolk County court to an indictment alleging he used an 11 year old boy Keith Meynin sexual performances and also possessed a massive collection of child pornography featuring young boys less than 16 years of age. The defendant, Keith Meyn, who is believed to have been employed at Camp Kenwal in Melville as a group leader, camp counselor and most recently as the Director of Maintenance Operations, appears to have participated in illegal activity involving children for over a decade, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said.  
 
Judge Barbara Kahn set cash bail for Keith Meyn of Oakdale, at $250,000 cash or $500,000  bond on the 112 count indictment.
 
District Attorney Spota said the investigation has found Meyn was previously associated with a film company, Psych Ward films, and modeling agencies Camden Enterprises and StoneAge Enterprise.  “The defendant participated in disturbing photography and videography featuring young boys,” DA Spota said.
 
“We believe there are more victims of this predator out there and we are asking them to come forward, even if the crimes happened years ago,” DA Spota said.  “In some cases, depending on the facts, a prosecution may still be possible, and all of the information we can gather will be helpful to the investigation.”   Victims and others with knowledge helpful to the investigation are urged to call the Suffolk County Police Department Computer Crimes Unit at (631) 852-6279.  All calls are confidential. 
 
The indictment unsealed today charged this defendant with three counts of Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree, three counts of Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance as a Sexually Motivated Felony, three counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and 100 counts of Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child.  If convicted of all charges, Meyn faces 50 years incarceration in a state correctional facility, District Attorney Spota said.
