An Acworth man labeled by authorities as a "child porn collector" was sentenced to a year in prison Wednesday for sexual exploitation of children.

Robert Raboud was arrested in April after the Paulding County Sheriff's Office Crimes Against Children unit -- after a months-long investigation -- executed a search warrant as his home. Authorities discovered more than 100 images of child pornography on the 47-year-old's computer.

Raboud was also fined $10,000 and will be on probation as a sex offender for 20 years. He also agreed to provide deputies with information that may assist in future investigations.
