Springfield man sentenced to eight years on child porn charge

(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)

Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced today that a Springfield, Mo., man has been sentenced in federal court for receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet.

Lonnie Ray Orr, 29, of Springfield, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips on Monday, March 31, 2014, to eight years in federal prison without parole.

On Nov. 21, 2013, Orr pleaded guilty to receiving and distributing child pornography. Law enforcement officers identified a computer that was using a peer-to-peer file-sharing network to share child pornography over the Internet, which they traced to Orr.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Springfield, Mo., Police Department.
