A Livonia man has been sentenced to 125 months in prison after being found guilty of possessing child pornography. 

Ryan Ulman, 29, was sentenced on June 18, according to the United States Attorney's Office Eastern District of Michigan. 

According to a release, Ulman admitted to running a fake modeling agency, which is how he obtained the photos. 

As part of his plea, he admitted to requesting that a 17-year-old girl create and send him images of herself that constituted as child pornography on Aug. 16, 2017.

Ulman also admitted that between 2014 to 2017 he obtained photographs from several women by promising them that they would make up to $100,000 per year from his modeling agency, although he had no agency and no clients. Ulman kept the photos for his personal use.
