A Michigan City man was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.
On Thursday, a federal judge sentenced 40-year-old Linn Johnson to 144 months in prison and 5 years supervised release.
In May 2013, an undercover officer downloaded child pornography shared by Johnson on the internet, according to court documents.
In December 2013, officers served a search warrant on Johnson's residence and seized a computer that contained child pornography.
His sentence was enhanced because he admitted to molesting a 7-year-old child, according to the US Attorney's Office.
The case was investigated by the FBI and Michigan City Police Department.
