A Chesterfield County man pleaded no contest yesterday to producing a homemade sex DVD that was copied and placed on vehicle windshields along the Hull Street Road corridor.
David H. Feltmeyer, 33, was given a 90-day suspended jail term and 30 hours of community service after entering an Alford plea to a single misdemeanor count of "knowingly producing an obscene exhibition."
With the Alford plea, Feltmeyer didn't admit guilt but acknowledged the prosecution had evidence for a conviction. In exchange for the plea, the prosecution withdrew three related charges, including one felony count.
Feltmeyer was arrested March 1. Police said he used his computer to make numerous copies of an 18-minute DVD that contained intimate moments between him and his former girlfriend. They said the sex-play was recorded without the victim's knowledge, but Feltmeyer's attorney yesterday disputed that.
During the hearing, defense attorney William H. "Buddy" Parcell III told the court that Feltmeyer's ex-girlfriend was aware of the video, and he said the defense had evidence to prove it. Parcell said the tape was made in November 2003, and Feltmeyer sent his ex-girlfriend a copy of the video Dec. 4, 2006, "per their agreement."
In February, copies of the DVD were randomly placed on vehicle windshields along the Hull Street Road corridor from Spring Run Road to the Chattanooga Plaza shopping center near Warbro Road.
The DVDs included the former girlfriend's name, address and phone number. That prompted men to begin calling the woman or showing up at her house, thinking she was seeking sex, police said.
"We found one at one end of Hull Street . . . and then found another at the other end," so police know that more than just two DVDs were distributed, Capt. Karl Leonard said after Feltmeyer's arrest.
Feltmeyer, of the 3300 block of Old Courthouse Road, was originally charged with one felony count and one misdemeanor count of using a computer to "carry out the production of an obscene production," and two misdemeanor counts of "knowingly production an obscene exhibition."
At the time of Feltmeyer's arrest, police said resentment and jealousy played a role in the case. Police in March said Feltmeyer and the woman had a relationship that ended about a year ago.
"It's over with, and she's been embarrassed enough and my [client's] been embarrassed enough," Parcell said. "Even a flat pancake has two sides, and I think in this situation, it was a fair resolution to a long-term relationship that's over with."
