GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - A 72-year-old Alachua County man is serving a life sentence for child pornography.

A judge handed down the sentence for Gerald Morris on Thursday.

Morris turned himself in last July after investigators seized several hard drives from his home.

Investigators said they found thousands of files of child pornography.
