BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A North Dakota man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison on a child pornography charge.
A jury last year found 39-year-old Garron Gonzalez, of Bismarck, guilty of attempted sexual exploitation of minors. Authorities say Gonzalez tried to persuade a 15-year-old person to send him sexually explicit visual depictions using a cellphone.
Investigators say Gonzales met the victim while playing an online video game.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland sentenced Gonzalez to the maximum term allowed under federal sentencing guidelines.
