BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - An attorney for a Baton Rouge lawyer charged by federal prosecutors with receiving child pornography over a three-year period says his client will plead guilty.
U.S. Attorney Walt Green says a bill of information filed Tuesday alleges William Steven Mannear used a computer to knowingly receive child porn from August 2009 through September 2012.
Green says Mannear faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and up to 20 years if convicted as charged.
