as posted by the channel

IDAHO FALLS — A former U.S. marine was given prison time on Monday after pleading guilty to downloading child pornography.

District Judge Dane Watkins Jr. sentenced John Jr. Demaria IV, 45, to a minimum of two years and a maximum of 15 years in prison.

Demaria was sentenced for two counts of willfully possessing child sexually exploitative material.

For count one, he was given a minimum of two years with a maximum of ten years in prison. For count two, he was given no minimum and a maximum of five years in prison. Both sentences will run consecutively. He will also have to register as a sex offender and pay $3,491 in court fines and fees.

Demaria initially pleaded not guilty to ten felony counts of willfully possessing child sexually exploitative material but signed a plea agreement in April, where he agreed to plead guilty to two counts in exchange for the prosecution dropping the remaining counts and recommending a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten years in prison at sentencing.
