Memories of the Children’s Department at Strawbridge’s Just Got Creepy
Department store namesake Steven L. Strawbridge has pled guilty to child pornography charges and faces up to four years in prison. Strawbridge, 63, was once vice president and treasurer of Strawbridge & Clothier, the Northeast mall staple that always smelled of cheap pants suits and lemon disinfectant.
Police began investigating Strawbridge when his AOL account was tagged as a recipient of five emails containing kiddie porn. In addition, police found a gold mine of smut on his hard drive, including 44 images of children engaged in sex acts and 54 depicting “bestiality and masturbation.”
Since Steven Strawbridge’s brother Peter and cousin Francis both held more powerful executive roles in the Strawbridge empire — which the family sold 11 years ago and is now owned by Macy’s — there should probably be some comparison to Fredo Corleone here, but the whole masturbating-animals-having-sex thing makes it less than apt.
