Prosecutors seek five-year term for ex-Sen. Justin Eichorn, above sentencing guidelines

Federal prosecutors are seeking a five-year prison term for former Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn after he pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography in a prostitution-sting case involving a supposed 17-year-old, arguing the sentence should exceed the advisory guideline range of 15 to 21 months. The filing also calls for life-time supervised release and strict internet restrictions, with Eichorn facing sentencing on Sept. 23 following his resignation from the Legislature amid the investigation.
