Levittown Man With Sadistic Child Porn Collection Gets 10 Years

A 54-year-old Levittown man will be in jail for 10 years for a child porn collection that included images of children being sexually abused.

A Levittown man will serve 10 years in prison for a voluminous child pornography collection that contained more than 600 images and 29 videos, including of children being sexually abused, authorities announced this week.

David Fetterolf, 54, shared the images and videos on the internet, United States Attorney William M. McSwain said. Fetterolf was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty in November.

Authorities say his child pornography collection had images depicting bondage and sadistic conduct.

“This is a horrifying crime committed by a defendant who exploited children for his own sexual gratification,” McSwain said. “Fetterolf is part of a community of deviant individuals who enjoy watching the innocence of young children shattered, their intimate privacy destroyed, and the worst moments of their young lives documented forever for others.”
