An Austin man pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to receiving child pornography.
Federal officials say James Randall Madewell, 29, admitted to downloading child pornography in March 2004. He was caught in an FBI sting of Internet file sharing programs. He was arrested at his previous home in North Texas. Investigators say he had 100 to 400 images of child pornography on his computer.
Madewell is scheduled to be sentenced in March 2009. He faces a minimum of five years in prison.
