BISMARCK, N.D. — An airman at the Minot Air Force Base has been sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to distributing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors say 21-year-old Carl Deshawn Dean solicited, received and distributed hundreds of images and videos of child pornography between December 2016 and March 2018 while serving as an airman.

Authorities say Dean used social media, including Facebook and Snapchat, to solicit child porn. They say he shared images and videos between 200 and 300 times.

Federal District Court Judge Daniel Hovland also ordered Dean to serve 10 years of supervised release and pay $3,000 in restitution during sentencing Monday.

This case was handled by the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the Minot Police Department.
