WOODSTOCK, Ill. (STMW) - A northwest suburban man was sentenced to five years in prison Friday after his third conviction for possessing child pornography.

Michael Hartman, 34, of Marengo, was sentenced Friday to five years in prison for unlawful possession of child pornography, according to a McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office release.

Marengo police found the child pornography on Hartman’s computer inside his residence, the release said.

It was the third arrest for possession of child pornography, the release said. The two prior offenses occurred in Kane County in 2004 and Hartman was previously sentenced to three years in prison for the second of those offenses.

    Maybe it’s time for life in prison w/out any parole. The third time is charm.

      First offense – 5 years. Second offense – TEN years. Third offense – 25 years. If he/they don’t get the message then put them away for LIFE. Maybe they should let the fathers or mothers of the children involved in a room with the offender for 10 minutes. STOP releasing these criminals!!

    this crime is one of the lowest forms so why did it even get to a 3rd time?

    He won’t be having a good time where he’s going, that’s for sure.

    • Roberta Waker

      He must have had a good time for the first two offenses or he wouldn’t want to go back. Maybe he needs a different cellmate this time.

    Perfect example as to why this sick people need to spend more time in jail! Five years is a joke especially considering it is the THIRD TIME he does something like this. Why do people not understand this is a psychological issue that can not and will not ever go away 100%. People like this destroy lives and they get nothing but a few years in prision and a few rules once they come out. And most of these rules and regulations aren’t known to the fullest.
