Former Minnesota state trooper sentenced to 27 years on child sexual abuse charges

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a former Minnesota state trooper to 27 years in prison for creating and distributing child sex abuse images.

Jeremy Plonski pleaded guilty last fall to federal charges of producing and distributing child pornography, after FBI agents in Texas found videos of him sexually assaulting a baby. In some of the videos, Plonski could be seen wearing his uniform and sidearm.
