On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, Kevin Myers, 48, of Altoona, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Stephanie L.Haines to 78 months in federal prison, to be followed by 20 years of supervised release, on his convictions Transporting Child Pornography; and Possession of Child Pornography.
