SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The former stepfather of a slain 12-year-old
Vermont girl has been sentenced to more than 16 years in prison on
child pornography charges.

U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez sentenced Raymond Gagnon
(GAN'-yuhn) in San Antonio on Friday to 16 years and eight months
in federal prison. Gagnon expressed grief and remorse in accepting
the sentence.

The FBI found child pornography while searching Gagnon's San
Antonio home after former stepdaughter, Brooke Bennett, disappeared
in Vermont last summer. Gagnon had been married to Brooke's mother
four years before the couple separated in 2004.

Brooke's uncle, Michael Jacques, is accused of molesting and
strangling Brooke in July 2008. Prosecutors are seeking the death
penalty.
