TYLER – A 44-year-old Longview man has been sentenced to federal prison for child pornography violations. Ronald Lee Strader had pleaded guilty last July to possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of children. He was sentenced in Tyler to 32 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Leonard E. Davis.
According to information presented in court, on Jan. 13, 2011, a federal search warrant was executed at Strader’s residence. During the investigation, Strader admitted that he used the Internet to search for, download, and view child pornography. A forensic analysis of his computer revealed 477 images of child pornography. Authorities say some of the videos depicted children less than 12 years of age engaged in sadistic and masochistic conduct.
