(KLZA)-- A Missouri man who was temporarily residing in Nebraska City has been sentenced in U.S. District Court in Omaha for distribution of child pornography.

Chief U.S. District Judge Rober Rossiter, Jr. sentenced 26-year-old Charles Ryan Croney to 100 months in prison and ordered him to pay $36 thousand in restitution. Once he completes the prison term, Croney will begin a 7-year term of supervised probation.

On January 1, 2020 Croney uploaded two images of child pornography to an online chat group. On January 30, 2020, a federal search warrant was executed at his Nebraska City residence. Agents obtained Croney's cellular phone and located about 400 images of child pornography. Additional child pornography was discovered during a search of Croney's online Discord account.

The case was investigated by the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
