School District Employee Arrested For Possessing Child Porn: FDLE

SARASOTA, FL — A Sarasota County Schools employee was arrested on child pornography charges Wednesday.

Stanley Roderick Fetsch, 42, was arrested on one count of promotion of child pornography and three counts of possession of child pornography, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said in a news release. Fetsch was identified by the Herald-Tribune as an employee in the school district's communications department.

On Oct. 29, FDLE agents served a search warrant at Fetsch’s residence and found an external hard disk drive that contained the child pornography. They took him into custody on a court-ordered arrest warrant Wednesday, after forensic examinations of his devices uncovered videos of prepubescent children involved in sex acts.

Fetsch was booked into the Manatee County Jail and will be extradited back to Sarasota County to face the charges. The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 12th Judicial Circuit.

Due to Fetsch’s association with minors, additional victims may exist. Anyone with information is asked to contact the FDLE’s Ft. Myers Regional Operations Center at 239-278-7170.
