ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A former Brockport kindergarten teacher will spend 13 years in prison for receiving child pornography.

Roland Yockel addressed the judge before he was sentenced accepting responsibility for his actions and apologizing to his family, friends and coworkers at the fire department where he was an EMT.

Yockel had nearly 6,000 pornographic images and videos showing "sadistic" abuse of children.

Along with the prison sentence, Yockel will have 15 years of supervised release and is ordered to pay $7,200 in restitution to victims.

By pleading guilty he avoids the normal 20-year maximum sentence and cannot challenge the sentence given.
