SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The son of an astronaut has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in a federal sex tourism case, according to court records.

Walter M. Schirra III, 55, pleaded guilty August 31 to a federal charge of possession of child pornography.

Schirra, of San Francisco, was arrested November 6 as he tried to board a Thailand-bound plane, authorities said. A luggage search netted photos of shirtless Asian boys, sexual performance enhancing drugs and candy, customs officials said.

Those items aren't illegal, but a later search of a computer at Schirra's home revealed child pornography, authorities said. He was arrested under a law passed last year to crack down on sex tourism.

Schirra's father, Walter Schirra, flew in three of America's space missions.
