A 47-year-old Canadian man living in Jacksonville was sentenced Monday to more than six years in federal prison for receiving child pornography over the Internet.

The court also ordered Christian Lapierre to serve seven years of supervised release following his release from prison and to register as a sex offender.

According to court documents, an investigator with the Florida Attorney General's Office conducted an undercover operation to identify individuals using the Internet to share child pornography. The investigator was able to identify an Internet protocol address located in Jacksonville that was sharing files depicting child pornography. Further investigation revealed that the Internet service account for this IP address tracked to Lapierre's Jacksonville home.

A federal search warrant was executed at his home and officers seized two computers and other digital media. Lapierre was inside the home at the time, and during an interview, he said he had two computers, one desktop and one laptop. He admitted that he was the one who downloaded files using the particular software program and that he had some videos showing kids on there, as well as some "teen stuff."

Investigators said Lapierre's computer media contained five videos and one image depicting child pornography.
