(Sioux City)– A Melvin man has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for possessing child porn. 21-year-old Johnny Gutierrez was sentenced earlier this month after pleading guilty in April of last year two counts of possessing child pornography.

Gutierrez admitted that between February 2016 and November 2019 he possessed depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including one of a minor under the age of 12. As part of the investigation, officers recovered about 51 images and 26 videos of child porn from a computer hard drive and 38 images from his cell phone.
