Minn. Officer sentenced for possessing child porn
A former Minnesota police officer was sentenced to prison in Wisconsin after pleading guilty to two counts of possessing child pornography.
Anthony Miller of New Richmond was sentenced Monday to 14 years on the first count and 15 years on the second. They will be served concurrently.
State prosecutors say altogether he will spend about five years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release.
In addition, he must register as a sex offender, must not have contact with any child under 18 years old without written approval and meet other conditions.
DOJ says Miller worked as an officer in Hastings, Minn., for 11 years and admitted he downloaded and traded pornographic pictures of children while on the job.
