A central Kentucky man has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
Edward L. Lewis, 54, of Frankfort, was sentenced on Wednesday.
According to Lewis’ guilty plea, on February 25, 2021, law enforcement discovered images of child pornography on four electronic devices in Lewis’ possession. Lewis, prosecutors said, admitted to using “spy cameras,” hidden in bathrooms and bedrooms of his residences, to produce child pornography images of a victim.
Lewis was previously convicted of four counts of possession of a matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor in Franklin Circuit Court in May 2013.
Under federal law, Lewis must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence. Upon his release, he will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for life, according to prosecutors.
The investigation was conducted by Kentucky State Police and Homeland Security Investigations.
