Three Scoundrels Sentenced

10 TV: A father and his son will both serve time in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. Christopher Gould, 51, of Westerville, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of sexual exploitation of children by producing child pornography, according to a news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office. His son, Adam Gould, 25, pleaded guilty earlier this month to one count of transportation of child pornography. Both men were arrested last year when officers conducted a search of their home and seized a computer and briefcase containing photographs of a 10-year-old girl in sexually explicit poses. Also seized during the search were two laptops belonging to Adam Gould, which investigators said contained more than 2,500 pictures and 78 movies of child pornography. Both men reached plea agreements with prosecutors. The U.S. Attorney's Office said that Christopher Gould will serve 180 months in prison while his son, Adam Gould, will serve a prison sentence of 80 months.

NBC 4: A Central Ohio man will spend the next 100 days in jail for shoplifting and using a child as an unwilling accomplice. Derrick Buell, 27, was accused of stealing from an East Broad Street Meijer store Wednesday, April 1. It wasn’t the first time Buell used the tactic, either, according to prosecutors. He was sentenced to 100 days in jail for the crime.
