COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A Columbus man has pleaded guilty to six counts of possessing child pornography.

Sentencing has been set Jan. 31 for 35-year-old Christopher Fleming. Prosecutors dropped six counts of porn distribution and two more counts of child porn possession in exchange for Fleming’s pleas.

Fleming fled the Columbus area in mid-April after an arrest warrant was issued. He surrendered in May. At an earlier court hearing, Fleming told a judge he ignored the warrant so he could spend time with his dying father in Texas.
