(NEW ORLEANS)---A Slidell man has been sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison in connection with a child pornography case where more than 50,000 images of child pornography were found on his computer, according to U. S. Attorney Jim Letten.

Letten said that 60-year-old Danny M. Daugherty was sentenced to 210 months in federal prison, placed on a life term of supervised release, ordered to pay $20,000 in victim restitution, required to give a DNA sample and register as a sex offender, prohibited from owning a computer or television with internet access, and ordered to have no unsupervised contact with minors under the age of 18.

Letten reported that Daugherty pled guilty on January 23, stemming from a search warrant being served on his home back on May 8, 2007. Deputies with the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office and officers with the Slidell Police Department recovered a photo album and a computer loaded with child pornography images, reportedly including three young boys, age 12-14, from Daugherty's neighborhood.

Letten concluded that Daugherty was taken into custody, but not before he allegedly pulled a 9mm pistol on officers.
