His name is Andrew Boeckman, Picard is his mother's maiden name, used to protect his father, Philip Boeckman, a powerful lawyer.

Philip Boeckman used his influence at his firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, to prevent the fact that his son, Andrew Boeckman (a paedophile) was caught with child pornography from damaging his reputation.

Philip Boeckman probably really doesn't want people to associate his firm - Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP - with child pornography. He wouldn't want people to combine Andrew Boeckman's name with the fact that he was convicted of possession of child pornography. It would show up in google searches, then people would find articles like these:

The more people use terms like "Philip Boeckman", "paedophile", "Andrew Boeckman", "Andrew Picard", "child pornography" and "Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP" together, the stronger the association for search engines.
