Patrick Newman, Child Exploitation, Kentucky 2015

A former Louisville teacher and assistant football coach has been sentenced to 504 months in prison for violating child exploitation laws.

Patrick Newman, 33, was sentenced by United States District Judge David J. Hale in U.S. District Court in Louisville, Kentucky.

Newman, who was previously employed by a parochial high school, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of producing child pornography, one count of online enticement of a minor, one count of transporting child pornography, and one count of possessing child pornography.

The charges involved 16 different victims, all boys, with ages ranging from 12 to 17. Newman engaged in sexual activity with three minors from the Louisville area and recorded the sexual activity with one of the minor victims.

According to a review of Newman’s phone, he transported and distributed child pornography to 56 people, in addition to the 16 minors. A review of his Dropbox account also found that he possessed 87 videos depicting child pornography involving boys.

Newman has been in federal custody since his arrest on June 1, 2015.

U.S. Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr. stated, ‘This significant sentence reflects the severity of Mr. Newman’s crimes and is an appropriate punishment in light of the terrible harm he caused the multitude of vulnerable 12 to 17 year-old victims, their families, and a high school community.’

Protecting our children will always be the highest priority of this office, and we will continue to prosecute those who exploit children as vigorously as the law allows.’
