The 55-year old now faces up to 10 years in jail. Kennedy's home was raided and computer seized.

After a review of Kennedy's computer, agents found 238 images and video files.

The U.S. Attorneys Office in Pittsburgh charged Kennedy with 238 images of child porn. That's 13 photos and three videos. Under federal law, each video counts as 75 pictures. Kennedy could be sentenced up to 10 years in prison and fined up to $250,000. Sentencing is set for August 25th and Kennedy will have to register as a sex offender wherever he works and lives.
