Each charge was punishable by up to 10 years in prison, but federal sentencing guidelines called for Rutherford to serve 6 1/2 to 8 years in prison. Rutherford pleaded guilty to the two child pornography charges in June.
Authorities say Rutherford viewed 3,182 images of child pornography via the Internet on his home computer. The pornography included photos and videos. The pornographic images found on Rutherford's computer ranged from toddlers to adults, according to court testimony.
