Rodger Mader
A Shelbyville man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography.
Rodger Lee Mader, 33, of Oak Street must serve 30 percent of a 15-year term before he will be eligible for parole, according to a plea agreement he signed.
Mader was indicted by direct presentment to the grand jury in October on 47 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Mader was investigated by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation special agents starting in April, acting on a tip from National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that on March 30, Mader uploaded images of child pornography to his Google E-mail account. (Shelbyville Times-Gazette)
