LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former University of Nebraska- Lincoln college student has been sentenced to prison for downloading child pornography using the university’s Wi-Fi.
29-year-old Joseph Anderson, originally from De Pere, Wisconsin, was sentenced Monday to five to eight years.
Prosecutors say Anderson was already on probation in Idaho for doing the same thing when he was a student there. Last year, UNL police were tipped by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Anderson’s email account had been used to download child porn. He was arrested Aug. 25.
He later pleaded no contest to possession of child pornography.
Anderson will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.
