Richard Adamsky, a longtime teacher from Warminster, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on Apr. 14 to seven and a half years in prison for child pornography offenses, according to United States Attorney David Metcalf. The sentencing took place before United States District Judge Gerald J. Pappert in Philadelphia.
Adamsky received a sentence of 90 months in prison and ten years of supervised release. In addition to his prison term, he was ordered to pay a $30,000 fine, $38,000 in victim restitution, a $10,000 Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act assessment, and a $20,000 assessment under the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement, Adamsky was charged by indictment in September of last year and pleaded guilty in December to one count each of receipt and attempted receipt of child pornography as well as possession of child pornography. At the time of his arrest he was serving as a seventh- and eighth-grade teacher at Nativity of Our Lord grade school in Warminster where he had taught for 38 years.
Court filings showed that Adamsky knowingly received images depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on June 15, 2024. He also possessed two computers and two flash drives containing similar material involving prepubescent minors and children under twelve years old.
The case is part of Project Safe Childhood—a nationwide Department of Justice initiative launched in May 2006 aimed at combating child sexual exploitation online by coordinating federal resources with state and local law enforcement agencies.
The investigation involved FBI Philadelphia’s Fort Washington Resident Agency along with local police departments from Warminster Township and Upper Merion Township as well as the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Maureen McCartney prosecuted the case.
