NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a former school crossing guard has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for producing and distributing hundreds of child porn images, including some shots taken in his own bedroom.
Kenneth Christensen will have to register as a sex offender under the sentence imposed Tuesday. He also will be under lifetime supervised release once he’s freed from prison.
The 45-year-old Edison man had worked as a crossing guard at a Metuchen middle school before he was arrested in February 2013. He pleaded guilty last December.
Christensen admitted sending more than 600 images of child porn from his home computer in 2012. Some of the files he distributed were photos he took in his bedroom of a naked young child, who was bound in some of the images.
