BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - An elementary school teacher admitted arranging to have sex with a 14-year-old boy, who was really an FBI agent, when he pleaded guilty Monday to possession of child pornography in exchange for an 8 1/2-year prison sentence.
Kollin King, 27, told a federal judge he had pornographic images of children stored on his computer in late January, some of them depicting children younger than 12. Sentencing was set for Nov. 28.
If convicted at trial on charges of possession of child pornography and attempting via the Internet to entice a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, King could have been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
As part of the plea deal, King admitted to the attempted enticement, an online sting operation in which an undercover agent posed as a 14-year-old boy, prosecutor Paul Campana said in a telephone interview. He also agreed to surrender his teaching certificates, Campana said.
During plea negotiations, King admitted that he'd previously had sex with a teenage boy. "We didn't know about it until he told us," Campana said, adding that no charges were filed in that case.
King, who lives in Hamburg south of Buffalo, was arrested Feb. 1 at a suburban restaurant where he had arranged to meet the 14-year-old Internet acquaintance that the FBI had fabricated.
He later acknowledged that he'd engaged in sexual activity with a 16-year-old boy he met on the Internet in a park and in his apartment, prosecutors said. But he denied having inappropriate contact with any of his students at Blasdell Elementary School, where he taught fourth grade, or members of a Boy Scout den he led.
