Sentence set in child porn case

SANDPOINT — A Sandpoint man was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday for possession of child pornography.

Brent Anthony Stevens was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene by Senior District Judge Edward Lodge. Stevens was also ordered to serve seven years of supervised release after serving his term and pay $3,000 in restitution to two children in images he possessed, according to a news release issued by U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson.

Stevens, 30, was indicted by a grand jury of possession of child porn and pleaded guilty earlier this year. Investigators with the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force discovered Stevens was using a computer at his home to share the illicit content through a peer-to-peer digital file-sharing network in 2013, federal court documents indicate.
