Las Vegas illusionist gets 20-year prison term in child porn case

Las Vegas Strip illusionist Jan Rouven fainted Thursday after a federal judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison for possessing, receiving and distributing thousands of videos and images of child pornography. "In this courtroom, at least, the show is over," U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro said. The judge also imposed a $500,000 fine, which will go to victims. [...]

Prosecutors wanted Rouven to serve at least 30 years behind bars, saying he shared his password and collection with others, including an undercover agent, which led to his arrest.
