Man gets more than 10 years for child porn possession

AKRON, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio man who authorities say admitted to trading nude photos with teenagers will spend more than a decade in prison.

Northeast Ohio Media Group reports (http://bit.ly/1S8FZAZ ) 36-year-old Daniel Forshey was sentenced Tuesday in a Summit County court to 10 1/2 years in prison. He had pleaded guilty to five felony counts involving child pornography.

Forshey will have to register as a sex offender every six months for 25 years.

A message seeking comment was left Wednesday at the office of Forshey’s attorney.

Police said the Springfield Township man sent nude photos to other teenagers during a three-month span beginning in January. He admitted to sending photos of a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl to a boy in Kentucky.
