A 21-year-old Glen Allen man will spend another 15 months behind bars after sentencing Thursday in Henrico County credited him with the 15 months he already has served for pleading guilty to possession of child pornography and using a computer to commit sex crimes with a minor.

Ryan Updike was sentenced to five years in prison with three years and nine months suspended on each charge. Henrico Circuit Judge L.A. Harris Jr. said the two active sentences will run consecutively, but he will get credit for time served.

After reading an apology to the court that mentioned his family and friends, Updike was given a stern warning from Harris.

"I think you have loads of good intentions, but you've got to learn to control yourself," Harris said. "These are not victimless crimes. The victims are the children."

Defense attorney Charles Cosby called several members of Updike's family and childhood friends to testify on his behalf. They described Updike as "easy-going" and "mild-mannered," but not well-adjusted.
