A Fresno man who didn’t learn his lesson the first time will be locked up for 15 years following his child pornography conviction.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston sentenced Adam Lee Campbell, 43, on Thursday, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert said in a news release.

According to court documents, Campbell received images of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct on a cellphone from 2019 through 2021 while on parole.

Campbell has a prior conviction for hands-on contact with minors, along with previous state convictions for possession of child pornography and for failing to register as a sex offender.

Homeland Security investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura D. Withers.
