A U.S. District judge sentenced Craig James Myran to 21 years in prison. According to court documents, Myran was an active participant on a site on the dark web that was dedicated to discussing and trafficking in child sexual abuse material.

Investigators found thousands of images of child sexual abuse material on numerous hard drives and a cell phone used by Myran.
