An Iowa City woman charged last year under a nationwide child pornography investigation, dubbed Operation Wire Breaker, has been sentenced following a guilty plea in March.
Jennifer Marie Abbott of Iowa City pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on March 25 to possession of child pornography. Today Judge James E. Gritzner sentenced Abbott to 2 years imprisonment, 5 years supervised release and required Abbott to pay $100 to the victim's assistance fund.
A minute entry for the March change of plea hearing noted that the Court “finds extraordinary circumstances present.”
Possession of child pornography is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
