      HOUSTON — A retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer was sentenced Thursday to 160 months in federal prison for receiving child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson, Southern District of Texas. The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS). Dieter David Palmer, 42, was identified as a person who purchased a membership to child pornography websites that were under investigation. The investigation began as a Department of Justice operation (Operation Flicker) targeting a criminal organization operating multiple commercial child pornography websites. U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison, who handed down the sentence March 22, also ordered Palmer to be on supervised release for life, and he must register as a sex offender.
