Two Harrisburg men who were arrested after their child pornography pictures got jammed in a printer at a city drug store have pleaded guilty to federal charges that will send them to prison.

Timothy Rissmiller, 44, and John L. Gilbert III, 36, both pleaded guilty to child porn possession charges before U.S. Middle District Chief Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson, U.S. Attorney Bruce D. Brandler said Monday.

City police nabbed both men in July 2015 because of the printer malfunction at the Rite Aid store on Market Street. A store manager called police after Rissmiller and Gilbert left their illicit images behind.

Police said they found other child porn at a halfway house where the men were serving time for prior child porn possession convictions.

A grand jury indicted the pair on the federal charges in June after an investigation that also involved the FBI. Brandler said Rissmiller and Gilbert each face mandatory prison terms of at least 10 years.
