BANGOR (AP) – A New Hampshire man has been handed a 41-month prison sentence after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court in Bangor to possessing child pornography on his computer.

Thirty-year-old Blake Hampe of Manchester, N.H., who faced up to 20 years behind bars, was also sentenced Friday to 10 years of supervised release after he completes his prison term.

Hampe was arrested in September 2006 in Bar Harbor after arriving from Nova Scotia by ferry. According to court documents, customs officers who searched his vehicle found a laptop computer that contained image and video files of child pornography.
