A St. Robert man was sentenced in federal court for obtaining child pornography online.

Robert Biggins was sentenced to 15 years and eight months without parole on Monday. The 28-year-old pleaded guilty on March 6.

A person living with Biggins called the police after seeing child pornography on a hard drive Biggins had given to him.

In May of 2011, officers executed a search warrant and seized two laptops, external hard drives and other related storage media. From these devices, they discovered 231 images and 274 videos of child pornography.
