A former Lewiston city councilor will serve three years in prison in
a child pornography case.
U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge sentenced Matthew P. Carlson
Thursday in Coeur d'Alene's federal court to a three-year prison
sentence that includes 10 years of supervised release following the
prison term, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Carlson will be required to pay $1,500 restitution to one of the
children whose images were recovered from Carlson's computer, a
spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson's office said. Carlson
must also register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
Carlson, 31, was indicted last spring by a federal grand jury and
charged with one count of possession of sexually explicit images of
minors, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in
prison and a $250,000 fine.
