Judge sentences Wahoo man convicted in child porn case

WAHOO, Neb. -- A Wahoo man convicted of possessing child pornography has been ordered to spend nine to 20 years in prison.

A Saunders County judge ordered William Sloup’s sentence this week. He was facing up to 500 years behind bars.

The case against Sloup began in December 2017 when the Nebraska State Patrol received a tip.

Investigators recovered evidence on his phone, including pictures and videos of child porn and conversations he had with others about his sexual interest in children.

With Nebraska’s good time laws, Sloup could be out of prison in four and a half years.
