CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A former Cedar Falls man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of receiving child pornography.

Prosecutors say 34-year-old Robert Turner, of Reinbeck, entered the plea Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids. His sentencing date hasn’t been set.

The charge stemmed from a Cedar Falls police investigation when Turner was a University of Northern Iowa student and living on campus.



Authorities allege Turner received photos of minors engaged in sexual activity from August 2001 to August 2013. Court records say images on two computer hard drives and a flash drive were found during a search of his home.
