A western Iowa man has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. Thirty-nine-year-old Christopher Handley of Glenwood was accused of ordering material from Japan that depicted girls being sexually abused by adults and animals.

The mail was intercepted by federal agents in May of 2006. A search of Handley’s Glenwood home turned up more child pornography. On Wednesday Handley pleaded guilty to one count of possessing obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children and one count of mailing obscene material.

He faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to a quarter of a million dollars.
