A former Connecticut police captain who had faced up to 20 years in prison for possessing a massive trove of child pornography was sentenced to half that on Friday after his lawyer argued he suffered from job-related stress.

Former Granby Police Capt. David Bourque pleaded guilty last year after he was caught with more than 26,000 still and video images of child pornography. Federal authorities said it was one of the largest and most disturbing child pornography cases they've seen.
