Ex-teacher pleads guilty to downloading child porn

A former teacher in suburban Chicago has pleaded guilty to downloading child pornography and has received a six-year prison sentence.

Twenty-seven-year-old Max Estes of Chicago worked as a teacher and wrestling coach at Plainfield High School at the time of his arrest last year. He later resigned.

An investigation by the Cook County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force found Estes had been downloading child pornography on his computer.

As a result of his conviction Wednesday, Estes will have to register as a sex offender for life.
