Ex-Firefighter Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Charges

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A former Baltimore County firefighter has pleaded guilty to two child pornography charges.

Twenty-three-year-old Anthony Maurice Cottle of Owings Mills entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Baltimore. He faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison at sentencing July 18.

According to his plea agreement, Cottle produced videos that showed sexually explicit acts by two under age boys. Prosecutors say one video showed Cottle performing sex acts on one boy.
