Joshua Michael Klemme, 34, was sentenced to 19 years in federal prison after he previously admitted to having disturbing videos that showed child sexual abuse on his phone, according to court documents obtained by EverythingLubbock.com on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Klemme was arrested in the 3400 block of 93rd Street by the Texas Department of Public Safety on January 16 as part of the 2nd Annual Operation Janus, which is aimed at rescuing children and targeting predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities learned about Klemme thanks to a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip stated a Lubbock resident uploaded files on social media that showed child sexual abuse. Once authorities looked further into the tip, it led them to Klemme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Court documents stated Klemme was caught with 195 photos and 33 videos on his phone that showed child sexual abuse. One video involved a toddler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Court records stated authorities discovered Klemme had a messenger app that he used to send files to \u201cat least\u201d one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After his time behind bars, Klemme will be on supervised release for 10 years. He will be required to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
