He’s gone from “Rude” to lewd.
A Staten Island indie pro-wrestler who goes by the ring name “Rude Boy Riley” has been busted on child-porn charges, law enforcement sources said.
James “Rude Boy” Riley, 28, of Arden Heights was arrested Wednesdaymorning after police executed a search warrant and discovered child pornography hoarded on his computer, sources said.
He faces charges of promotion and possession of a sexual performance by a child, sources said.
The tattooed, 6-foot-1, 208-pound wrestler often competes with Warriors of Wrestling and Five Borough Wrestling, according to a bio on his personal website.
“With his high energy, platinum-blonde bun and tattoos honoring his mom and grandfather. James Riley is the local favorite,” his bio reads.
Riley, who has been wrestling for about a decade, is quoted in his bio saying, “’Everyone who doubted me as a kid is now watching me in the crowd.’”
Riley is also a group trainer at Staten Island’s Orangetheory Fitness gym.
An employee at Orangetheory Fitness told The Post, “We have no comments to be made.”
Gym-goers who know Riley were stunned by the news.
