RENO — A 21-year-old Reno man who used a social media messenger app to view more than 2,000 images and videos of child pornography has been sentenced to five years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Miranda Du also sentenced Ian Ramsey on Wednesday to 20 years of supervision upon his release from prison and ordered him to register as a sex offender.
Ramsey pleaded guilty earlier to one count of receipt of child pornography.
Prosecutors say he admitted he would chat online with others who looked at the pornography on the social media app.
They say he often suggested engaging in child trafficking and discussed meeting up in Las Vegas to potentially abuse children.
The investigation was led by the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations division.
