BEND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man was sentenced to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography and sex abuse charges involving three young girls.

KTVZ-TV in Bend reports that 44-year-old David Anthony Windham was indicted last year on 94 counts before he pleaded guilty Monday to a dozen of those charges.

Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies said the investigation began when a woman Windham had been dating in the coastal town of Port Orford found some computer disks Windham left behind after they broke up.

Three guilty pleas were charges out of Curry County – a felon in possession of a firearm, failure to register as a sex offender and encouraging child sex abuse.

The other nine guilty pleas included sex abuse, rape and using a child in a sexual display.
