COEUR d’ALENE — A Moscow man will spend 15 years in federal prison for distributing child sexual abuse material, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Joshua J. Downer, 39, pleaded guilty in September to the distribution of child pornography, according to court records.
Chief U.S. District Judge David C. Nye sentenced Downer to 15 years in prison, after which Downer must serve a lifetime of supervised release and pay $12,000 in restitution to four victims in the images he possessed. Downer will be required to continue to register as a sex offender.
