A former high-ranking Pentagon official has been sentenced to prison on child-porn charges.
Wade Sanders, 68, a deputy assistant secretary of the Navy during the Clinton Administration, claimed he downloaded the images while researching a writing project on the sexual exploitation of children.
On Monday in San Diego, Sanders was sentenced to 37 months behind bars, after pleading guilty in connection to the case in December. He had faced as much as 10 years in prison.
Sander's psychological therapist told the court that his patient has an obsessive-compulsive syndrome owing to post-traumatic stress disorder but that he was not a pedophile.
