Church aide gets 10 years in child porn case

FORT WORTH — A 27-year-old Fort Worth man who did volunteer work with children at Trinity Chapel Church on Southwest Boulevard in Benbrook was sentenced Friday to 10 years in federal prison on a child pornography charge.
Prosecutors said Derek M. Ripley was sentenced on one count of distributing child pornography. He also was ordered to be under supervised release for life. He pleaded guilty in May.
Authorities say Ripley admitted to using the Internet to distribute three images of boys engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice, to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
