Pennsylvania ICAC Nabs Four Young Child Sex Predators
November 9, 2009Timothy Earl Bottomley, 24, Brett M. Fenimore, 21, Gregory Andrew Clerico, 22, of Aston, Pennsylvania, and Tyrell Celvin Alston, 26, of Yeadon, Pennyslvania have been arrested on child sexual abuse image possession charges. According to the Daily Times of Delaware County, Bottomley admitted to being a youth pastor of Zion Community Church on Kings Highway in Clarksboro, New Jersey. Fenimore told investigators he was a Neumann University sophomore, majoring in criminal justice. Clerico said he viewed children as young as 2 or 3 being sexually abused, and had an “obsession” for it.
Since there is a high correlation between viewing images and being a child molester, we commend the work of the Pennsylvania ICAc in taking these predators off the streets. Although it may already be too late for some victims (the Abel study shows that child molesters act out as adolescents), it may prevent dozens of future victimizations.
