  • B.C. man busted in national child-porn ring gets 90-day sentence

VERNON, B.C. — An Enderby, B.C., man caught in a Canada-wide child-pornography ring has been sentenced to 90 days in jail.

Forty-six-year-old Rylan Sandberg pleaded guilty to possession of child porn in May and must also serve 18 months probation.

He must submit a DNA sample and is barred from having contact with a person aged 16 or younger, other than his two children while he is on probation.

Sandberg is also prohibited from using the Internet except for work.

He was among 150 men who were arrested across the country last year as part of a child-porn investigation.

Police seized more than a million pictures and videos depicting abuse of children, including infants.
