Kansas man gets nearly six years in prison for distributing child porn

USDOJ coin
A Kansas man was sentenced this week to 70 months in federal prison for distributing child pornography.

Tyler Padden, 35, Lawrence, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of distributing child pornography. At sentencing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Flannigan said Padden had four computers containing 2,000 images and 800 videos of child pornography.

He installed seven file sharing programs on his computer, allowing him to search for child porn and allowing other users to download images from his collection of child pornography.

Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says the investigation began when a detective with the Overland Park Police Department used the Internet to download child pornography from Padden’s computer.
