LOUISVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Louisville man has been sentenced to four years in prison for distributing obscene matter to a minor.

Scott Louis Craven pleaded guilty in May to sending the material to a person he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

That supposed teenage girl actually turned out to be an undercover investigator with the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office.

On Friday in U.S. District Court in Louisville, Craven was sentenced to 48 months in prison. He had faced a potential maximum sentence of 10 years.

Upon his release from prison, he will be required to register as a sex offender and will remain under supervision for 20 years.
