Chataignier man gets 11 years in federal child porn case

A Chataignier man was sentenced Tuesday to more than 11 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release for possession of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Ricky Johnson, 53, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik, who also ordered Johnson to forfeit the devices Johnson used to download and view the child pornography.
At his February plea agreement, evidence showed that Johnson downloaded child porn from a file-sharing network in early 2010.
In September 2010, Johnson’s computer and other electronic devices were searched, and images and videos of child pornography were found. Johnson has a prior conviction for molestation of a juvenile.
