SCRANTON
A city man agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge of distributing child pornography.
Eric George Garman, 31, was charged in August with distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography and attempted production of child pornography for incidents that occurred between June 4 and Aug. 9. Court documents do not provide further detail.
Garman reached an agreement with federal prosecutors that calls for him to plead guilty to the distribution charge. The charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison up to a maximum of 20 years. No date has been set for the guilty plea.
