Leavenworth Man Sentenced in Child Porn Case
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A federal judge has added victim restitution to the terms of punishment for a northeastern Kansas man who admitted distributing child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Wednesday that 55-year-old Leon Smith, of Leavenworth, was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison. Judge Carlos Murguia also ordered Smith to pay restitution of $3,000 to one victim and $2,000 to another whose photos were distributed on the Internet. Smith admitted in his guilty plea that he searched for child pornography on the Internet and saved the material in folders on his computer. An FBI agent in Oklahoma downloaded more than 50 images from Smith's computer in 2010, using peer-to-peer file sharing software.
