Johnston County Man Sentenced To Prison For Child Porn Found During Animal Torture Investigation
Content warning: This story may be disturbing to some readers.
NEW BERN – On Tuesday, a federal judge sentenced Nathaniel Rogers Truitt, 23, to 10 years in federal prison followed by 10 years of supervised release for Receipt of Child Pornography.
According to court documents, the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office initially investigated Truitt for domestic violence. Truitt called 911 claiming a family member pepper sprayed him. The family member found videos of Truitt torturing and murdering the family cat.
Truitt confessed to authorities that he videoed himself killing the family cat at the request of a stranger on the internet. Truitt also confessed to killing stray cats and to engaging in sexual acts with these dead animals at the request of an online stranger.
Law enforcement seized and searched his digital devices, which revealed child sexual abuse material, along with animal cruelty videos.
“This reprehensible crime disgusts every law-abiding citizen. Engaging in this behavior allows spiders to target more children for demonic acts. We will stomp out anyone doing this in Eastern North Carolina, without remorse. Please monitor your family members and don’t let them get entangled in the evil that lurks in the web,” said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle.
W. Ellis Boyle U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina made the announcement after the sentencing was concluded. U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan presided over the sentencing.
The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office and SBI investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Charity Wilson and Ashley Foxx prosecuted the case.
Truitt’s state charges in Johnston County Court for crimes against nature and cruelty to animals remain pending.

This demonic acts are from the pit of hell! You wonder if anyone in his life ever showed any character towards Christianity? I have heard that we have neighbors among us that have made a decision to be soldiers for Satan and nothing is too disgusting. .
Wonder if he will get off like the Braswell guy?
Did the guy get off? I thought he was in prison. Am I wrong?
the progression of animals to children is an all too common occurrence. LEO should know this; legislators should too. Making laws tougher for animal cruelty offenses could stop the progression. Finding, arresting and jailing these criminals should be of the utmost priority starting with animal cruelty.
Keep this scumbag off our streets. Animal cruelty? Sick sob
He is pure evil. He deserves to be ******** every single. He is a pos.
Crimes against nature and animal cruelty are pending?!?! What the h*ll is pending about that!??? That is one sick f**kr!?? He needs to be locked away for good!??? Gotten off the streets !?!? Torturing those poor cats like that!?? And they won’t even do Jack s**t with this sick sob!??

Are you a Minnesota protester?
That is disturbing beyond belief.
He only got two years for what he did not enough time in my opinion
WELL WELL WELL
Federal charges which mean he can be pardoned? Please hurry with the state charges. I do not trust the current administration if this guy applies for a pardon. Is there a website where the public can check to make sure he is where is supposed to and not pardoned with our knowledge?
I can’t believe what I just read.
There are NO WORDS for this guy.
