A federal magistrate ruled Monday that a
former Pfizer executive should be held without bond on child
pornography charges.
Alan Hesketh, 61, of Stonington is accused of posing as a
28-year-old woman nicknamed "Suzibibaby" online while trading
hundreds of images of children engaged in sex acts.
At a detention hearing Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna F.
Martinez ruled that Hesketh is a flight risk and could pose a
danger to the public.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested him at
John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York after he
allegedly traded images with a Buffalo, N.Y., man.
Hesketh, a legal resident alien from England, was fired Friday
from his job as global patent director at Pfizer, where he worked
for six years.
Slater said he told agents that he carried more than 1,000
images of child pornography on three thumb drives when he traveled.
She said he also told them he viewed and traded images at home, on
trips abroad and at his job.
