Richard Adamsky, a longtime teacher from Warminster, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on Apr. 14 to 90 months in prison and ten years of supervised release for child pornography offenses, according to United States Attorney David Metcalf. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Gerald J. Pappert in Philadelphia.
Adamsky, who is 66 years old, also received financial penalties including a $30,000 fine and $38,000 in victim restitution. Additional assessments included 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.
The charges stemmed from an indictment filed in September of the previous year. Adamsky 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 he was arrested, Adamsky had been teaching seventh and eighth grade at Nativity of Our Lord grade school in Warminster for 38 years.
Court documents show that Adamsky knowingly received images depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on June 15, 2024. Authorities found two computers and two flash drives containing such images involving prepubescent children and minors under twelve years old.
The case is part of Project Safe Childhood—a nationwide initiative started by the Department of Justice in May 2006—to combat online child exploitation by coordinating federal, state, and local resources to prosecute offenders and rescue victims.
