A former Largo police officer who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography has been sentenced to five years in prison by a federal judge.

Jamie Bogdan, 33, was a Largo police officer for 21/2 years. He resigned Oct. 17, the same day agents confronted him at his home. An undercover operation online had led them to Bogdan.

Bogdan now lives in Fort Myers Beach. He entered a plea of guilty to one count of possession of child pornography in June, just before he was scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court in Tampa.

According to authorities, Bogdan downloaded more than 1,700 images of child pornography. The victims' ages ranged from 6 months to 13 years old. He had deleted most of the files from his Dell computer by the time agents contacted him.
