A man in Aurora, Illinois has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars for trading child pornography through an internet chat room. Alan Jungels, 45, was caught last January as part of a huge pedophile network sting conducted by Australian police.

In March 2006, then-U.S. Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales announced in Chicago that federal authorities had shut down the chat room and that 27 people were charged in the U.S., Australia, Britain and Canada.

Prosecutors said Jungels used the screen name “Big-al-43895″ when trading the pornography in chat rooms with titles such as “incest” and “daddy-daughter.”
