Rousseau was sentenced after a jury found him guilty on five counts of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

Federal prosecutors said Rousseau, who was arrested in April, downloaded more than 100 videos containing child porn to his personal computer since 2010 while working at various Miami fire stations.
