Looks like David Werking is one sick individual (allegedly). It's too bad his parents destroyed the property instead of turning it over to authorities.

From the article: "According to the Holland Sentinel, David’s father claimed that some of the pornographic material was particularly disturbing, including depictions of “incestuous sexual relationship, along with depictions of sex with minors and animals, sexual assault and slavery.”

“That you would buy and watch films depicting such violence is beyond the pale,” Werking’s father wrote in an email entered into evidence. “I have no words to express the depth of my shock and disappointment. Believe it or not, one reason for why I destroyed your porn was for your own mental and emotional health. I would have done the same if I had found a kilo of crack cocaine.”

The parents destroyed the evidence. David Werking will likely take his settlement, which could be substantially higher than the $25,000 he initially claimed his sick collection was worth because his attorney says they're going for treble damages, and buy more sick crap. Hopefully law enforcement will be keeping an eye on him and he'll be criminally charged.
