LAPORTE (AP) — A northern Indiana man who spent almost 40 years in prison for murdering two young children and was convicted in April of molesting a 7-year-old boy has been found guilty of possession of child pornography.

The jury reached the verdict on Monday against Richard Dobeski in 13 minutes. Dobeski, 59, who was sentenced to eight years in prison in April on the molestation charge, could face up to three more years in prison when he is sentenced by LaPorte Circuit Judge Tom Alevizos on June 23.

His latest convictions sprung from an investigation in Pulaski County where three boys last summer alleged Dobeski offered them $50 to take their pictures. As part of the investigation, a warrant was obtained by Pulaski County authorities to search Dobeski's mobile home.

The search turned up two floppy disks that Pulaski County Sheriff Michael Gayer testified contained pictures of nude boys who appeared to be under 16.

Dobeski was sentenced to life in prison in 1964 for the murders of 6-year-old and 3-year-old siblings in Long Beach. In 1984, an appeal reduced the sentence to 40 years, and he was released in 2003.
