A Laramie man was sentenced Tuesday in Albany County District Court to three to 10 years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary on each of two counts of child pornography. The sentences are to run concurrently.

Tucker James Perry, 26, of 800 S. Ninth, was placed on 10 years of supervised probation for possessing child pornography, and his prison sentences were suspended. At the time of his arrest, Perry was a student at the University of Wyoming. Perry admitted to searching for and possessing child pornography on or around Dec. 15, 2005. He was charged with three counts of manufacturing, generating, creating, receiving, distributing, reproducing or delivering child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography. He was sentenced on the third and fourth counts.

On Dec. 22, 2005, the Division of Criminal Investigations obtained a warrant to search Perry’s home due to probable cause that a computer at the residence was involved in the distribution of child pornography. At the time, Perry lived with one roommate, who had been out of town for several days. Perry admitted to the DCI agents that he had used Limewire software to download pornography, and he admitted to using search terms that are known to return results containing child pornography. Perry also admitted to being interested in pornography depicting persons under the age of 18.
