A former Orange County judge has agreed to plead guilty to possessing child *advertiser censored* on his computer, prosecutors said Friday.
Under the plea deal, prosecutors will recommend that Ronald Kline, 65, be sentenced to 27-33 months in federal prison, in exchange for his pleading guilty to four federal counts, court papers show.
After he was indicted in late 2001, Kline argued evidence seized during searches of his home and office was tainted because the search warrants were granted on the basis of diary entries and other materials a Canadian hacker had illegally downloaded from Kline's computer.
The hacker, Brad Willman, forwarded the material -- including diary passages in which the author talks about watching young boys -- to authorities through the watchdog Web side Pedowatch.
A subsequent search by U.S. Customs agents turned up images on Kline's computer and diskettes of boys engaged in sexually explicit acts, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
In the plea agreement filed today, Kline acknowledges he had more than 100 sexually explicit images of young boys stored on his computer equipment and disks, and that some of the images depict boys under the age of 12.
