NYPD officers and Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested 65-year-old Ben Sprecher early Tuesday.
A criminal complaint prepared by a New York City police detective said Sprecher admitted he possessed child porn files.
The complaint said over 100 electronic files seized from Sprecher's residence included a nearly 46-minute video of a pre-teen girl engaging in sex acts with an adult male.
Sprecher was the lead producer of "Rebecca," a Broadway musical that was canceled before it was to open in fall 2012.
The scandal surrounding the collapsed musical led to a FBI fraud investigation into the circumstances.
A stockbroker later admitted he'd flimflammed the producers.
