A little more than two months after pleading guilty to distributing videos of child sexual abuse, former Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison staff attorney Jason Mark Sims was sentenced Friday to five years in prison and 10 years of supervised release.

Senior U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III in Alexandria, Virginia, handed down the sentence against Sims, 36, who was charged by federal prosecutors in August. As part of Sims' sentence, Ellis has ordered him to write an article for publication about his crime in an “effort to achieve general deterrence,” according to a statement by the U.S. attorney's office in Alexandria.
