LEXINGTON â A former teacher from Berea was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to child pornography.
Larry Dale Foley, Jr., 49, was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison, before Chief U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves, after previously pleading guilty to producing child pornography.
According to Foleyâs plea agreement and other court records, a tip submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, from Tumblr, showed that a blog that Foley owned had distributed 46 images and two videos of child pornography.
On Jan. 6, law enforcement searched Foleyâs residence and seized electronic devices that contained child pornography. Foley was arrested and has been held in federal custody since that time.
