A southwest Missouri man will spend three years in prison for possessing cartoons showing child pornography.

A federal judge sentenced 36-year-old Christjan Bee of Monett on Monday to three years without parole, followed by five years of supervised probation.

Bee pleaded guilty last October to possession of an obscene image of the sexual abuse of children.

Bee’s wife called police in August 2011 after finding what she believed to be child pornography on her husband’s computer.

The U.S. attorney’s office says in a news release that comics found on the computer found several images of minors engaged in sexual activity.
