BRIDGEPORT — The former Pfizer executive caught in a child porn scandal won't be getting out on bond despite offering to post $500,000 Monday.

Following an hour-long hearing, Senior U.S. District Judge Warren W. Eginton told Alan Hesketh that he considers the former global patent attorney for Pfizer a risk of flight by virtue of his owning four properties, including one on the Isle of Man off the Irish Sea, and because he has been an international traveler. "I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I can rationalize my decision by my long experience in life" Eginton told Hesketh, a 61-year-old with the English equivalent of Ph.D and receipient of three different pensions. "But I can rationalize my decision by my long experience in life.

" Given the extent of his assets and his knowledge of travel I consider him more of a risk of flight," the judge said.

Eginton struck down a request for release pending sentencing from Jonathan Einhorn, Hesketh's lawyer. Last week, Hesketh, a British citizen who has been living in the U.S. for the past six weeks, pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing more than 1,000 images of child pornography.

As a result, he faces a mandatory minimum five year prison term when sentenced Oct. 17. The federal sentencing guidelines recommend he receive between 10 years and 12 years seven months in prison.

Once he completes his sentence, Hesketh is expected to be deported to England.

Einhorn told the judge that Janet Hesketh's the defendant's wife of 39 years, needs Hesketh home to help her arrange the family's finances in preparation for the prison term he received in October. He said the couple's four children all live in the United Kingdom.

"I don't know if that's going to be a detriment or an advantage," said the judge after hearing that initially Hesketh's wife wanted nothing to do with him after learning of the charges.' Hesketh was arrested at the Kennedy International Airport on March 26. At the time, federal agents found a portable hard drive containing 1,981 images and 71 video files many depicting sadomachistic activities on infants and young children.

A resulting investigation alleged that Hesketh carried this item with him on business trips and to work where he sometimes traded his collection over the internet.

"The images present were the most horrific depictions of infants and young children being abused," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Slater.

Agents from the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement came across Hesketh's involving while investigating Gregory Nadolski, 29-year-old Buffalo, N.Y. man who lives at home with his parents and works as a company mail clerk. The pair traded dozens of images.

Nadolski, who cooperated with authorities, is free under house arrest.

Einhorn sought the same kind of conditions for his client, who was willing to post $500,000 backed by equity in his homes.

The lawyer also suggested if free Hesketh would receive necessary mental health treatment.

Hesketh is being detained without bond at the Wyatt Detention Center in Central Falls, R.I..


People may think that child porn is picture of naked kids standing there doing nothing, but that is far from the truth. Sure that can be considered child porn and be prosecuted as such but most times this is not what child porn collectors are interested in. Child porn is more like pictures of INFANTS, TODDLERS, and every age of children being TORTURED with sadistic sexual acts being not only forced upon thier little bodies that cannot withstand the abuse, but they are also forced to perform this upon other children and adults. Children have died from massive trauma to thier frail bodies as a result of some sicko getting his jollies. What is even worse is that these men KNOW that this child could die, but they don't care. This is another testiment that pedophilia cannot be "cured". These people are psychopaths and need to be institutionalized.
