His wife, Judy Waser, will face one count of attempted possession of child pornography at a trial set for April 16, also in front of Judge George C. Smith.

David and Judy Waser were arrested in August after David Waser’s purchase of 11 videotapes, featuring scenes of children, some as young as 4, involved in various sex acts with other children and adults, was discovered by an undercover postal worker.
