| A US doctor who authorities said had sex with underage boys while travelling abroad has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for downloading child pornography and taking sexually explicit pictures of boys.
Gregory Kapordelis, 46, was convicted in May of six counts of downloading child pornography and using boys to produce pornographic pictures between 2001 and 2004.
He was acquitted of a seventh charge of making a video of himself having sex with a person under 18.
Kapordelis, who was arrested after landing at a New York airport in 2004, had acknowledged travelling to the Czech Republic - where the age of sexual consent is 15 - to have sex with teenage boys and spending time with teenagers both overseas and at his home.
The sex tourism charges were eventually dropped, and the current charged stemmed from images the government says were found during a search of his home after the arrest.
Prosecutors showed jurors what they said was a private file on Kapordelis's computer that contained images of young-looking males in sexual positions and activity on an online newsgroup called ''Pretty Boys''.
He also had been charged with videotaping himself having sex with a teen boy in Prague and bringing that tape back into the US, where it is illegal.
During sentencing, Kapordelis also received six years supervised probation and a $20,500 fine.
