A 33-year-old Twin Lakes man was sentenced to five years’ probation Thursday more than two years after his collection of child pornography was turned over to authorities.
Andrew Lee Bliss pleaded guilty to two out of seven counts of possessing pornographic work involving minors in a plea agreement last November.
According to the court complaint, another person was concerned Bliss had taken inappropriate videos of children and employees of a lawn care service while they were working. That person also gave Austin authorities Bliss’ computer hard drives and a chest with children’s photographs in October 2012, and he was concerned Bliss had a problem.
After obtaining a search warrant, detectives found about 20 pornographic photographs of children, the complaint added.
