Ex-Boy Scout Official Sentenced for Child Porn

Via CNN.

A former official with the Boy Scouts of America was sentenced to eight years in prison Monday for receiving and distributing child pornography, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas, Texas.

Douglas Smith Jr., 62, of Colleyville, Texas, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Terry Means in Fort Worth.

Smith pleaded guilty in late March to one count of receiving and distributing child pornography.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents worked with German federal police authorities to investigate Internet child porn operations, and to particularly target those in jobs that involve dealing with children.
