YAKIMA, WASH. -- An Outlook man was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison for possessing and dealing child pornography.
Paul Graves, 41, pleaded guilty in July in Yakima County Superior Court.
The sentence was more than a year above the standard range of 31 to 41 months for someone with no serious criminal history.
The case started in April when the Northwest Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received information that child pornography had been uploaded to a site on the Internet that was eventually linked to Graves' home.
Graves told investigators that he had uploaded and downloaded pornographic files, according to a report from the Yakima County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators seized several boxes of discs that Graves said contained child pornography, as well as albums full of photos of young boys.
Graves admitted collecting the material over many years, detectives said. At Wednesday's hearing, Graves expressed remorse for his conduct and said he would try to better himself.
