Clarion man pleads guilty to receiving child pornography

CLARION, Iowa (AP) - A Clarion man pleaded guilty in federal court to receiving child pornography.

The Globe Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/2lAUCmm ) that 24-year-old Jonathan Dean Sebert entered the plea Thursday. Prosecutors say he admitted that between August 2012 and January 2015, he knowingly received images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

A federal indictment says those images were found on a hard drive in his laptop computer.

Sebert remains in custody of the U.S. Marshal pending sentencing, which will take place on a later date. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and up to 20 years.
