"Mighty Magiswords" was Cartoon Network's first online original series, debuting in 2015. The show premiered as a full-length TV series in 2016 and ended in 2019. Carrozza also served as a voice actor — voicing over a dozen characters including one of its main characters, Prohyas Robert Warrior — as well as composer and executive producer of the series.
In California, possession of child pornography can be either a misdemeanor or felony and carries a sentence of up to one year in county jail or three years in state prison and/or a $2,500 fine.
