PAN AM AIRWAYS CARGO CHIEF BUSTED FOR CHILD PORN

Just released from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston:

BROWNSVILLE, Texas – Robert L. Hedrick, 60, has been arrested following the filing of a criminal complaint alleging he distributed images of child pornography, United States Attorney José Angel Moreno announced today.
Hedrick is president of the Brownsville-based Pan American Airways which provides cargo air service between the United States and Mexico.
According to the complaint filed on Friday, July 15, 2011, Hedrick is alleged to have shared multiple images of child pornography with undercover investigators from Louisiana and Wisconsin in online chat rooms between Sept. 14, 2010, and Nov. 22, 2010.
Hedrick was arrested this morning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) agents at his home in Brownsville without incident.
He is expected to make his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Felix Recio in Brownsville on Tuesday, July 19, 2011.
The United States expects to request that the court detain Hendricks in federal custody without bond pending further criminal proceedings.
Distribution of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum punishment of five years incarceration up to 20 years. Fines of up to $250,000 can also be imposed upon conviction for each offense.
Additionally, each offense carries a maximum life term of supervised release during which the court can impose a number of special conditions designed to protect children and requires registration as a sex offender.
The prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Assistant United States Attorneys V. LaTawn Warsaw and Carrie Wirsing are prosecuting the case.

What is disturbing about this is that Pan Am and Melissa Zamora were the main lead vocals to derail Fly fronter by using slander, interference and self interest..

Hendricks and Zamora called civil rights activist Carlos Quintanilla a felon, someone who has had a consistent record of defending Children and being a strong voice for Children on many issues, instead supporting audulating Hendricks a dirty disgusting Child abuser.

What a disgrace to Brownsville, where is Cheezmeh, where is Brownsville Voice.

Mr. Quintanilla we owe you an apology. Melissa you should resign.

Citizens of Brownsville

Poor Brownsville, that's another pitty and tragic victim. This
Colonized, Segregated, apharteid, isolated, exploited and marginalized town is really a SAD place to live.

The citizens didn't want our tax dollars to go to another fly by night scammer like Titan, Neoplan, Taylorcraft......should I go on? Aeromexico is a real airline!!! People can take flights from anywhere in Mexico and hub in Monterrey to reach Brownsville. It can be done on one electronic reservation. Quintanilla was going to rent a little plane...just one little plane. Someone already tried that in McAllen, and it didn't work...

Disgusting pervert and let's not forget that Melissa Zamora and Adolf Barton were his main cheerleaders. Barton, Zeke Silva, Melissa Zamora and Erasmo Castro, got any cheese to wipe off the shit on your face.

I don't remember anyone being Hedrick's cheerleader. I do remember everyone ramming a red hot poker up Quintanilla's ass. If the facts about Hedrick are correct, he needs to suffer the same fate as Quintanilla. Maybe they could compare notes about the accommodations and food to be served behind bars!

A real airline that filed for bankruptcy leaving $126 million in debt and laying off over 3,000 employees, yeah a real airline until they go broke again but that would be difficult in that they are charging $420 for a one way ticket where is the benefit to Brownsville the only benefit is to Aeromexico and that money goes to Mexico.

Last I hear Quintanilla is organizing a Pep rally for Education expected to draw 75,000 Children. There is a difference between Quintanilla and Hendricks, Quintanills defends them and Hendricks and Cervantes prey on them.
