TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB) - A Tonawanda man will spend three years behind bars for possessing child pornography.

Federal authorities raided Anthony Amato, Jr.'s Tonawanda home in December 2007. On a computer and disks inside, officers found three videos and 17 images of child pornography. The 40-year-old admitted he downloaded the child pornography from the internet.

A federal judge sentenced Amato to three years behind bars and five years supervised release on Tuesday.
