Two local men are going to federal prison on child pornography convictions.
Both were sentenced Tuesday. Martin A. Cordry, 48, of Sugar Creek was sentenced to 40 years in prison without parole. Kyle Shadoe McClure, 22, of Independence was sentenced to eight years and four months without parole.
Independence police investigated both cases, which were brought under Project Safe Childhood, a federal effort to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
When Cordry was arrested in 2008, police found 50 CDs with about 200 movies of child pornography at his home. Fourteen years earlier, he had been sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping and sodomizing a 7-year-old, and he was on parole – and in group therapy for sex offenders – when police searched his home in 2008. An Independence undercover police officer had identified Cordry’s computer as listing the availability of child pornography files.
Cordry also admitted that in the 15 months between the seizure of that computer and his arrest in March 2010, he got another computer and downloaded more pornography. Police found 15 child pornography videos and more than 1,000 cartoon images of children being sexually assaulted on that computer.
Last September he pleaded guilty to trying to download and distribute child pornography over the Internet as well as possessing child pornography.
Independence police also identified McClure’s computer as listing child pornography files available for sharing via the Internet. Last June, he pleaded guilty to attempting to distribute child pornography over the Internet, attempting to receive child pornography over the Internet and possessing child obscenity (cartoons depicting minors in sexually explicit conduct).
