Man sentenced for child pornography involving an animal
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – A Lookout Mountain, Georgia man faces a 20-year term in federal prison in a child pornography case that involved an animal.
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.
