A Raytown man was sentenced in federal court Monday for attempting to receive child pornography over the internet.
Cole A. Larson, 31, was sentenced to seven years in federal prison without parole. Larson pleaded guilty on Sept. 20, 2011, to downloading images of child pornography and making images of child pornography to share with others online.
Larson used a software program to download approximately 2,000 images of both child and adult pornography to his computer. The images had been sent to him from someone who was creating a website.
Law enforcement officers also found a pinhole camera at Larson’s residence. Larson said he glued the camera on his shoe to record “upskirt” shots with a digital video recorder that was strapped to his leg. Larson said he used the camera about 20 times in bars to capture images of adult women.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katharine Fincham and investigated by the Independence Police Department.
