A Bradford man out on bail for child pornography charges was nabbed again Wednesday for downloading more child pornography, this time on a deceased relative’s phone.
Gregory Fenstermaker, 55, was charged this time with 50 counts of child pornography, third-degree felonies; and one count each of disseminating photos of child sex acts and criminal use of a communication facility, both third-degree felonies.
According to the criminal complaint, Fenstermaker was arraigned in November and released on unsecured bail for a case where he is charged with the following: 100 counts of child pornography, third-degree felonies; 100 counts of disseminating photos of child sex acts, third-degree felonies; one count of criminal use of a communication facility, first-degree felony; 100 counts of child pornography, second-degree felonies; and 100 counts of disseminating photos of child sex acts, second-degree felonies.
On Wednesday, police served a search warrant on his residence. There were two cellphones on a nightstand inside his bedroom. Fenstermaker told police it had been his mother’s phone, but she passed away in January. Police found at least 50 images of “nudism involving prepubescent and pubescent children” on the phone, most of which had been saved after the date of his mother’s death, the criminal complaint stated.
Inside the nightstand where the phones were three Kodak pictures of a nude female child, the complaint stated.
Fenstermaker was interviewed and “admitted to still being interested in children sexually,” the complaint stated.
Fenstermaker was arraigned before District Judge Dom Cercone and jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing has been set for Feb. 23.
