A Claypool man was sentenced on Tuesday to just over 24 years in prison after pleading guilty to receipt of child pornography.
53-year old Kenneth Hyatt received his sentence at the US District Courthouse in South Bend. Hyatt was sentenced to 293 months in prison, followed by ten years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $14,930 in restitution.
According to court documents, Hyatt uploaded 65 images of child pornography to his Dropbox account. These images along with others depicted children under the age of 12 participating in bondage or sadistic conduct. In addition, Hyatt possessed at least 143 total images of child pornography. This came after Hyatt was released from prison for a state conviction of child pornography.
