News for Saturday, September 24, 2005


Jim Nolan, writing for Richmond's Times - Dispatch, offered a little more detail on the evidence police used to arrest Ben Fawley on Friday afternoon saying that, "A source close to the investigation said that evidence depicts adults and children in sexually themed movies." Richmond Police Chief, Rodney Monroe declined comment on the specifics of the pornography content but said, "Our investigation led to an individual that had possession of child pornography, which is of grave concern to us."

Fawley's attorney, Chris Collins, who was present during the arrest on Friday told Nolan that the additional search warrants executed following Fawley's arrest sought, "...various items of clothing and jewelry from Fawley and Behl, as well as electronics, cell phones, identification, and license plates." Collins indicated that he had no specific knowledge regarding the evidence used by police to obtain the arrest warrant that charged his client with 16 counts of possessing child pornography. Collins defended his client saying that some of the computers, and other computer related items taken into evidence during their search earlier in the week, belonged to ex-roommates of Fawley. Collins also said again that his client had nothing to do with Taylor Behl's disappearance. Collins also assured the reporter that the pornography charges "have nothing to do with Taylor." [Rare editorial observation/comment: If Collins has no specific knowledge of the evidence used to arrest Fawley, how can he also claim that the pornography has nothing to do with Taylor?]

Quoting from the Saturday edition of the Times - Dispatch:

"They're investigating three people and they haven't ruled anybody out," Collins said. "They're just doing a really thorough job." Fawley's arrest, he said, was another investigative tool being used by police "just to add a little pressure" to him. Fawley is expected to spend the weekend in the city jail and is scheduled to appear in court Monday morning for a bond hearing. A source close to the investigation said Fawley - who was recently arrested for trespassing and received a suspended 30-day sentence for an assault charge in Richmond last year - also has a previous arrest record, including a Richmond charge of assault last year.

Yesterday afternoon, Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara, said she was pleased with the arrest of Fawley, a 38-year-old man whom she said had "exploited' her daughter. "It is only the beginning," she predicted, "of Ben Fawley's downward spiral into the depths of hell."

Quoting from an article published in Saturday's Washington Post staff writers Jamie Stockwell and Sari Horwitz report:
According to an affidavit filed Tuesday in Richmond Circuit Court, investigators searched Fawley's residence that morning (Tuesday) for "any and all images, documents, log files . . . which pertain to, or are used in the facilitation, possession, production, publication, sale or possession with the intent to distribute child pornography or other sexually explicit items involving children."
Behl's mother praised yesterday's arrest and said she remains convinced that Fawley has not told authorities everything he knows about her daughter's whereabouts. "I hope that he knows more, and I hope that now that he's behind bars that he will tell authorities what he knows," Janet Pelasara said in a telephone interview from her hotel in Richmond, where she has been staying since Behl was reported missing. "We're happy that he has been arrested," she continued, "because he has broken several laws that he's admitted to. We're glad he's going down, and I just hope this isn't the end."
