Soldier sentenced to six years in child porn case

BELLEVILLE, Ont. — A Canadian Armed Forces sergeant based at CFB Trenton in eastern Ontario has been sentenced to six years in prison for child pornography offences and arranging to commit a sexual offence against a child.

Court officials in Belleville, Ont., say David Rodwell was sentenced yesterday.

The 57-year-old air weapons system technician was convicted on Sept. 22 of possession of child pornography, making child pornography and making an agreement to commit a sexual offence against a child.

He was arrested last year after an online sting involving a U.S. Homeland Security special agent posing as a mother of three.
