Solicitor: Public hearing on W-B Area high school not yet required

<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; After pleading guilty in June to 150 counts of child pornography and related charges, a Wilkes-Barre man has been sentenced to years in prison.</p><p>Nathaniel Butler Galloway, 28, was sentenced Monday by Luzerne County Judge Michael J. Vough to eight to 16 years in prison, to be followed by five years of special probation.</p><p>On June 19, court documents show Galloway pleaded guilty to 150 charges of child pornography and eight counts of disseminating photos or film of child sex acts to others.</p><p>A 159th charge against him, criminal use of a communication facility, was withdrawn when he pleaded guilty.</p><p>Galloway faces one year of probation for each of the first five charges of child pornography, to be served after his jail time.</p><p>Then, for the eight counts of dissemination of the images, he is to serve one to two years each. These sentences will be served consecutively to each other.</p><p>For counts six through 150 of child pornography, he was sentenced to one to two years in prison for each count. However, these sentences are to be served concurrently with each other and with the dissemination sentencing, effectively nullifying this sentence.</p><p>Galloway was arrested in November 2016 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received information about his Dropbox account.</p><p>Galloway was found to have 339 videos of suspected child pornography in the account.</p><p>Galloway admitted to making the account years ago and said he had been viewing child porn for more than a decade.</p><p>Saying that he downloaded the pornography only when he was bored, he also admitted to using social network website Tumblr and messaging app Kik to share images with others.</p><p>In addition to prison time, Galloway must register for 25 years under the Adam Walsh Act. He can have no unsupervised contact with minors, and can go to no place that minors frequent.</p><p>He was remanded to a state prison.</p><style>
