A Massachusetts man was sentenced today to 30 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and 100 hours of community service in connection with his involvement with online groups dedicated to creating and distributing videos depicting acts of extreme violence and sexual abuse against animals.
Garrett Fitzgerald, of Scituate, Massachusetts, pleaded guilty to conspiring to create and distribute so-called “animal crush videos.”
According to court documents, Fitzgerald conspired with Ronald Bedra, Robert Berndt, and others to direct and send money to individuals in Indonesia, via encrypted chat, to create videos depicting violent torture of baby and adult monkeys. The conspirators then distributed the sadistic videos to each other and online. Berndt was sentenced last month to 38 months in prison. Bedra was previously sentenced to 54 months in prison.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Adam Gustafson of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD), U.S. Attorney Dominick S. Gerace II for the Southern District of Ohio, Special Agent in Charge Jason Cromartie of FBI’s Cincinnati Field Office, and Assistant Director Doug Ault, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement made the announcement.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and FBI investigated the case.
Trial Attorney Mark Romley and Senior Trial Attorney Adam Cullman of ENRD’s Environmental Crimes Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicole Pakiz for the Southern District of Ohio are prosecuting the case.

The punishment should fit the crime.
There are some sick people in the world. He got 30 months. Once he gets out, he’ll be just as sick and dangerous.
Article doesn’t say how the “Animal Crush” videos were discovered. Maybe some version of the Vice Squad always has a staff person online looking for such things.
I think he should get a free helicopter ride.
These scumbags paid Indonesian scumbags to sodomize baby macaques with hot screwdrivers.
I hope not of these perverts are married have children.
I’d pay to see him eaten alive by starving Komodo dragons

Drop him off naked in Mogadishu Somalia.
“I think he should get a free helicopter ride.”
And let him deliver a log chain to the Titanic.
This is a new one for me. I never thought there was an on line demand for this kind of depravity...sick, sick, sick
Agreed.
Not only is he horribly sick, but so is anyone who wants to see such videos. Want kind I’d world are we living in? Have we progressed at all from the times of thumbs up / thumbs down in the Roman Colloseum?
Give him a taste of his own medicine.
I hear Tehran and Pyongyang are lovely this time of year as well.
Not much progress at all really.
Very!
What punishment to Fauci receive?
There is pure evil in this world, Satan’s chosen helpers.
GOOD. And while they are at it. Visit ghetto hood rat posts. It is VERY common for “teens” to torture pets in “the hood.” It is a horrible thing. These monsters post themselves kicking, punching, tying up, throwing dogs and cats while they are cheering and laughing like out of control chimps. ANimal abusers go on to be child abusers and sociopaths that will kill and murder with much glee in their hearts.
