WICHITA, KAN. – A former city administrator of Fredonia, Kansas, was sentenced Wednesday to 90 months in federal prison for child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.

Michael P. Ohrt, 40, Fredonia,  pleaded guilty to one count of transporting child pornography.

In his plea, he admitted using his Yahoo email account to establish a Dropbox storage account and then uploading videos of child pornography.

Dropbox identified the material as child pornography and reported the user's information to authorities. Investigators traced the IP address to Ohrt's work and home in Fredonia.
