Businessman faces child porn charge

June 26, 2007

Staff Reports

The owner of the Basin Ski Shop in Killington is facing a federal charge of possessing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors said in a statement that Richard Torrey, 56, of Killington, was charged Monday with the federal offense.

He was released on a variety of conditions, including home confinement and electronic monitoring.

According to the criminal complaint filed in federal court in Vermont in January, Torrey paid $99.95 to obtain access to a child pornography Web site titled, "Home Collection."

Special agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week executed a search warrant at Torrey's business on Killington Road and seized a variety of digital media that contained photos and videos of underage females engaged in sexually explicit conduct, federal prosecutors said in the statement.

Torrey took ownership of the ski shop in 1991.

The case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

It is a shame however that his actions will probably have severe consequences for his employees, as sales diminish because of his conviction, who probably until last year didn't realize what their boss was into.

Agree with the people on KZone....3 years is way too lenient.....

Girls under the age of 7
Some depicting violent acts
1300 images
30 videos.


3 years in minimum security prison.


The math just doesn't add up for me.

I'm excessively emotional on these topics, even more so now that i have 2 young daughters. but the way i feel right now, if he were to be "dahmer'ed" in prison, i would be very happy.

Looks like the store's website has not been updated in some time...except that they used to have staff bio pages...no more.

Kinda sucks for the sales clerks, store suppliers, etc......Doubt they knew of the guy's "habit".....

Time to rename the store and move on.

If I'm reading/thinking this right, this is good news....especially for the employees, who are essentially very courteous skiers/boarders...by my experiences in there.

Over the years, I've had nothing but good service there. What a waste.

Seems there are a lot of sick people out there. Maybe these two could bunk together befor the switch is thrown. It's people like him, paying $99 on line that leads to this -
