DETROIT (AP) — A young man accused of taking photos of nude boys while working as a counselor at a suburban Detroit camp has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Matthew Kuppe was sentenced Tuesday, eight months after pleading guilty to distributing photos of nude kids on the internet. He had worked as a counselor at the Jewish Community Center, which operates day camps in West Bloomfield and Oak Park.

The 22-year-old Kuppe says he’s sorry for causing any harm. He told Judge Avern Cohn that he did a “bad thing” but says it doesn’t mean he’s a “bad person.”

The investigation began with a tip about photos of young boys on a foreign website. In his plea deal, Kuppe admitted posting photos of three boys, ages 5 and 6.

Not a bad person? How does he rationalize that statement? Stupid people saying stupid things!
