LOUISVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Louisville man is facing a potential life sentence after pleading guilty to charges related to child pornography.

Authorities say 46-year-old Jeffrey Shawn Baunach pleaded guilty to possession and distribution of child pornography, as well as attempted enticement of a minor.

With his plea, Baunach admitted to engaging his children in sex acts and allowing other adults to do the same.

Authorities also seized numerous images of child pornography, several of which involved infants.

Of the charges, enticement carries the most serious penalty, with a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison.

Baunach is scheduled to be sentenced March 4.
