2 men sentenced in child pornography ring

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two members of a major international online child pornography ring have been sentenced to federal prison.

A judge in Indianapolis sentenced 57-year-old Roger Loughry of Baltimore to 30 years in prison Wednesday for his role as co-administrator of an online message board where members shared millions of pornographic images and videos. Loughry says he'll appeal.

Forty-three-year-old Charles Trull of Carterville, Ill., was a lower-level member of the website known as the Cache and was sentenced to 19 years. Prosecutors say he shared seminude photos he had taken of a teenage girl with other Cache members.

Both men were convicted on charges they conspired to advertise and distribute child pornography.
