A change of plea hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday at U. S. District Court in Springfield for a Noel man charged with receiving bestiality porn and violating sex offender requirements.
Edward Sterling Hetherington, 64, is charged with two counts of receiving bestiality pornography from 2020 to 2023, one count of failing to register as a sex offender in McDonald County and one count of violating sex offender registration conditions by not reporting e-mail and instant messenging addresses.
Hetherington was still on probation after serving a sentence for receiving and distributing child pornography.
When Hetherington was sentenced by U. S. District Judge Beth Phillips to eight years and one month in prison in 2015, a news release from the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri said he had "a massive library of child pornography."
Hetherington pleaded guilty on August 12, 2014. His criminal conduct took place over a period of 25 years, during which time he collected more than 100,000 images of sexual violence against children.
Chemical castration sounds like a fitting punishment
