The former mayor of a Portland, Oregon, suburb was sentenced to six months in federal prison for possession of child pornography.
Former Beaverton Mayor Dennis “Denny” Doyle, 74, was also sentenced Tuesday to five years probation and ordered to pay $22,000 to his victims, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon said. He will have to register as a sex offender.
Doyle pleaded guilty to a federal charge of possession of child pornography in October as part of a plea deal that recommended a prison sentence of approximately one year.

Former mayor of a Portland, Oregon suburb, Denny Doyle, was sentenced to six months in federal prison for possession of child pornography.
Between November 2014 and December 2015, while Doyle was mayor, he downloaded digital media onto his personal computer that contained child pornography, according to court documents.
Several of the images were of children under the age of 12 who had been identified as sexually exploited by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

When the FBI contacted Doyle at his home, he admitted that the drive was his and that he had downloaded the images, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
Doyle told the judge last year that he was in therapy.
He served on the Beaverton City Council for more than a decade before being elected mayor in 2008. He lost a re-election bid in 2020.
