Robert Earl Adams III pleaded guilty Aug. 10 to one felony count of possessing matters depicting a minor in a sexual act.   

He was sentenced Wednesday to two years of formal probation and a year of custody, according to court records.   

"Numerous probation terms include enrolling in a certified sexual offender management program, not to associate with any unrelated minor unless accompanied by an adult approved by probation, not to visit internet `chat rooms' or internet sites known to be frequented by minors, and other terms," John Hall from the District Attorney's office told City News Service.
