A former assistant scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America in Virginia Beach pleaded guilty Friday to receiving images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Andrew Harris Reshefsky, 42, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 18.
According to court documents, in June 2023, Virginia Beach Police investigating individuals sharing child sexual abuse material using file-sharing technology identified Reshefsky as a distributor and recipient of the abuse material.
On Aug. 17, 2023, VPBD officers executed a search warrant at the residence and seized multiple electronic devices in Reshefsky’s possession.
Reshefsky’s phone contained images of sexual exploitation of children received in WhatsApp messages in 2021 and 2022.
Forensic analysis of Reshefsky’s other electronic devices yielded numerous additional videos and imagery involving child sexual abuse material spanning years.
Reshefsky faces a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum of 20 years in prison.
