CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) — A Kanawha County man was sentenced last week for child pornography, according to the FBI.
40-year-old Stephen Lee Rhodes of Clendenin, West Virginia previously pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography. He was sentenced to six years and three months in federal prison, was ordered to serve 20 years on probation, and will be required to register as a sex offender.
According to the FBI, Rhodes admitted back in June of 2015 that he had received on his computer a video of a minor engaged in sexual acts. He also admitted to having a large collection of child porn images and videos on computers at his home.
The investigation found that Rhodes was using a peer-to-peer file sharing program to download, receive and distribute child pornography. FBI agents seized his computers and other digital storage devices before arresting Rhodes in March 2017.
