LINCOLN, Neb. (Omaha World-Herald) — A Butler County man has been sentenced for recording himself sexually abusing a child, sharing some of those images and possessing thousands of other images of child pornography.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Michael McCullar, of Dwight, was sentenced Wednesday to 41 years and 10 months in prison for producing and possessing child pornography.

A federal judge in Lincoln also ordered him to pay more than $154,000 in restitution and more than $30,000 in fines and fees.

Homeland Security agents in Nebraska were tipped off to McCullar by agents in Boston who were monitoring chatrooms and websites that trade in child pornography.
