Cattaraugus County man sentenced for child porn

U.S. District Court Court Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford on Thursday sentenced an Olean man to five years in prison for  possession of child pornography.

Shawn Lebrecht, 35, also was sentenced to 10 years of supervised release.

In early August 2016 an undercover law enforcement officer began communicating online with Lebrecht, who  sent the officer several images of child pornography, according to the U.S> Attorney’s Office.

On Aug. 25, 2016, a search warrant was executed at Lebrecht’s home and more than 300 images of child pornography were found on a laptop computer, prosecutors said.
