A former San Jose police officer has been sentenced to two years in state prison for soliciting nude photos of a 16-year-old Scotts Valley basketball player, according to the Santa Cruz County District Attorney's office.
Kenneth Williams was sentenced Monday morning in Santa Cruz County Superior Court, the district attorney's office reported.
He was convicted Aug. 5 of soliciting nude photos from the girl. He was facing up to four years in state prison but he gave up his right to appeal the conviction and was given a reduced sentence.
Williams had made contact with the girl through his wife, who assisted in coaching the basketball team, according to the district attorney's office.
He was arrested and charged for the crime in December 2005 after nude photos of the girl were found on two of Williams' computers.
In addition to his prison time, Williams will have to register as a sex offender.
