Pugh was convicted of one count of dissemination of child pornography and four counts of possession of child pornography.

Aud says all sentences will run consecutive to one another, not concurrently with one another. He added that the sentence on the Class X dissemination charge was the maximum sentence

Aud says the children depicted in the child pornography were under the age of 13.
