A former Santa Maria substitute teacher who admitted to having thousands of images of child pornography was sentenced Tuesday to eight years behind bars.

The sentence for Gregory Kornman followed the probation department’s recommendation but was less than the 18 years and four months maximum sentence he could have received.

The investigation began in March when court records show a San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s deputy noticed the 55-year-old engaging in lewd conduct in his vehicle in Nipomo.
