ST. LOUIS, April 29 A St. Louis woman has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for possession of child pornography.Sandra Batte was formerly the volunteer president in St. Louis of the breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure. She resigned from the organization in February, shortly before pleading guilty.Federal prosecutors learned of Batte in the course of an investigation into a Texas lawyer who has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually molesting boys. During the sentencing hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hal Goldsmith said Batte corresponded with Stuart Manley, received e-mailed child pornography from him and discussed having sex with him and a boy he was abusing, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported."To say that those communications are shocking and disturbing is to put it mildly," Goldsmith said. Batte's lawyer argued that his client, who has had cancer, was exhausted and looking for escape when she began communicating with Manley.Copyright 2007 by UPI
