Man pleads guilty to making, possessing child porn

AP  HOUSTON -- A suburban Houston man has pleaded guilty to possessing and conspiring to produce child pornography after sexually explicit photos of a child staying in his home were found on his home computer.

A Justice Department statement says Matthew David Eyerly entered his guilty pleas Wednesday in federal court in Houston. He could be sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison for conspiracy and up to 10 years for possessing child pornography.

According to the statement, FBI agents traced child pornography to a computer used by Eyerly in 2006. Agents found Eyerly and, searching his home computer with his consent, found sexually explicit images of children. Some involved the child of a woman with whom he was involved.

Eyerly will remain in custody pending sentencing scheduled for Aug. 1.
