Former teacher’s assistant pleads guilty in child porn case

(AP) – A former teacher’s assistant has pleaded guilty to
receiving child pornography after admitting he placed a pen camera in the
bathroom of a southwest Missouri elementary school.Federal prosecutors say 20-year-old Dalton Cole Sherman, of Buffalo, pleaded
guilty Tuesday.

Sherman admitted he put the small camera in the bathroom of DA Mallory
Elementary School in Buffalo. School officials contacted law enforcement in June
2015.

Sherman said he transferred videos from the camera to his electronic tablet to
watch at home.

Investigators found videos from the pen camera and 90 images of child
pornography, which was downloaded from the Internet, when they searched
Sherman’s home.

Under the plea agreement, Sherman will be sentenced to 12 years in federal
prison without parole and a lifetime of supervised release following
incarceration.
