ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A 35-year-old Peace Corps worker was sentenced to five years in prison for bringing more than a thousand images and movies of child pornography into the U.S. on his laptop computer.

James Grover of Corning pleaded guilty in July to one count of transportation of child pornography under a plea agreement. He was sentenced in federal district court on Friday.

Grover was arrested in December at the Detroit International Airport as he was returning home from the holidays after working as a teacher with the Peace Corps in the Ukraine.
