Picayune man sentenced to 57 months in child pornography case

GULFPORT, Miss. — A 60-yeaer-old Picayune man has been sentenced to prison for 57 months on a guilty plea to possession of child pornography.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/JpAWfG ) Clifford Lawrence also was ordered to have lifetime supervision after his release from prison.

U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden sentenced Lawrence on Tuesday.

Four counts were dismissed after he pleaded guilty to one count in February.

As part of his plea, Lawrence agreed to forfeit five computers, one computer hard drive and four thumb drives.
