Start on the Factual Basis portion of the agreement. It looks like he was found as part of a kiddy-porn sting in Germany; he was using a P2P network to share a known kiddy-porn file. My guess is that there were still files on his computer that were "borderline" child porn (i.e. people who may or may not have been under 18 at the time), and that in exchange for copping to this charge he got a lighter sentence than he might have otherwise. It's certainly important that he was NOT charged with receiving obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children, and that the state waived the five-year minimum sentence in his case.
