SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old Scottsbluff man has taken a plea deal in a child pornography case.
30-year-old James Larive has pleaded no contest to two felony counts of possessing and distributing child pornography. He faces up to 70 years in prison when he is sentenced in December.
Larive was originally charged with four counts of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct and four counts of child pornography but most of the charges were dropped in the deal.
The Nebraska State Patrol says Larive was arrested in March after sharing the files. They found more than 200 files of porn on his computer.
