LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Beatrice man has been given more than five years in prison for possessing child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Gilg said 31-year-old Terry L. Dill was sentenced Friday. He will be required to serve five years of supervised release when he completes his prison sentence. He will also need to register as a sex offender.

Authorities began investigating Dill after a file hosting service reported possible child pornography in one of its customer’s files. Search warrants of Dill’s residence and electronic items later revealed digital files containing more than 960 sexually explicit pictures and more than 100 sexually explicit videos of children under the age of 13.
