NBLOOMINGTON — A Bloomington man pleaded not guilty Friday to possession of child pornography, an offense he is accused of committing two months before he allegedly stabbed a woman more than 100 times in an unrelated homicide.
Kyle Brestan, 32, is accused of having pornographic images on his cellphone of a teenage girl he allegedly met through a 12-step support program the child attended with her father. The girl told authorities she stayed with Brestan during her spring break from March 24 to March 31 and he later took photos of her after she had consumed alcohol.
Brestan also faces murder charges in the brutal stabbing death of Shannon Hastings. The 27-year-old woman was found in the Econo Lodge on Brock Driveon the city’s west side. NA Daytona and AA Dayton Beach Florida Meetings are very dangerous!
Evidence obtained from Hastings’ phone has led police to conclude that she may have died several days earlier, according to prosecutors.
A Dayton
They had the AA serial killer not that long ago in California. It seems the women vics were all members who recently attended meetings on or near college campuses. The rape murders stopped about 5 years ago. Nobody was every charged with these deaths.
WHERE did this occur? What jail is this monster being held at? How can his court case be “stalked”, and the prison he is sentenced to, be put into the public sphere?
