A former Kentucky high school principal has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison for child pornography after uploading nude pictures of a student whose cellphone he confiscated.
Stephen Kyle Goodlett apologized in Louisville federal court Thursday to his victims and the judge.
He says what he did was “morally reprehensible,” and that he failed to live up to the standards he set for other people.
Goodlett pleaded guilty last year to federal child pornography charges after a young alumnus of LaRue County High discovered that naked images she had taken for her boyfriend at age 15 had been uploaded to a Russia-based pornography trading website. Authorities traced it to Goodlett, and found many images on his devices.
Prosecutors say Goodlett covertly searched the confiscated student cellphones for nude photos of teenage girls and saved them to thumb drives to be viewed and traded on the internet.
