Robert Gamere, a former Boston sportscaster who hosted the show "Candlepins for Cash" in the 1970s, has pleaded guilty to charges of e-mailing child pornography and faces five years in prison. U.S. District Judge William Young must still accept Gamere's plea agreement.

In making the guilty plea, Gamere remained combative in court, saying that he was not going to trial only because his attorney had advised him that he had a very small chance of being acquitted. According to The Boston Globe, he railed against mandatory minimum sentences and said that he would have faced a lesser penalty had he been tried in state, rather than federal, court.

Gamere, 70, has pleaded guilty to transmitting a pornographic video on two occasions, using the screen name "greatgamere," to a person in Mobile, Ala.
