A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a former aide to Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, to five years in prison after the one-time congressional staffer admitted to receiving child pornography.

James Maines Jr., 54, pleaded guilty in the case in December. Maines admitted to using his personal account to send five images of child pornography to his official House email in November 2012, according to a statement by the Department of Justice.

Maines was also sentenced to five years of supervised release by a federal judge in Texas.

Forensic analysis revealed Maines had downloaded child pornography and other child exploitation images dating back to 2004.

1. He sent child porn to himself, from his personal account to his official government account . . .

on top of his prosecution for perversion, he should be punished for being brainless.

(Though in this case, I'd plead for leniency, since his actions did result in the capture of a pedophile.)
