44-year-old Eric Lee Bagley pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography in a plea deal.

Federal prosecutors say he was arrested in an online operation.

Investigators say he thought he was striking a deal to make what is called a crush video that involves an animal in sexual activity.

It would have involved an 8-year-old girl.

When he travelled to Athens, Tennessee last summer to meet the adult woman and the child, police met him instead.

In addition to the 20-year term, Bagley must register as a sex offender.
