OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska day care employee has been sentenced to six years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography.

Online court records say that at his sentencing on Tuesday, 36-year-old James Klinkner was given credit for 364 days already served. He’d made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to two counts each of possession with intention to distribute and of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. Twenty-nine other counts were dismissed.

The former La Petite Academy worker was arrested after police in Bellevue received a tip from someone in Germany who said Klinkner had shared the porn. Authorities say Klinkner had two child porn images on his computer and had emailed them 31 times.
