A Glenwood, Iowa man has pleaded guilty to possessing drawings of children being sexually abused.
Christopher Handley entered his plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Des Moines.
Officials with the U.S. attorney's office say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement intercepted a package coming into the U.S. from Japan that was addressed to Handley. Inside the package were books containing Japanese manga drawings of minor females being sexually abused. Additional obscene drawings of sexual abuse were seized from the 39-year-old Handley's house.
Federal law prohibits the possession of any visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexual conduct, including drawings, cartoons, sculptures or painting.
Handley faces up to 15 years in prison. Sentencing hasn't been scheduled.
