A Bangor, Wis., man gets three years in prison for heavily indulging in the practice of collecting child porn.

Corey Hershey was so into child porn he traveled to Europe to visit a company that created personalized pornographic videos, allowing him to meet the “models.” 

The 41-year-old, who was also sentenced to supervision, also collected girls’ underwear, had a lifetime pass to child porn sites and saved porn on computers.

Hershey told Judge Gonzalez that what he did “wasn’t right” and he would like to rebuild his life.
