Prison Sentence In Child Pornography Case

•  Attorney General Jack Conway has announced a 10 year prison sentence for a Shelby County man following his guilty plea in a child pornography case. Ronald Craig Hornback, 51, was sentenced on July 26 in U.S. District Court to 121 months in federal prison following his guilty plea to one count of receipt of child pornography. Hornback will also be required to register as a sex offender. Prosecution of this case was handled by Erin Roth in the United States Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Kentucky. "I would like to thank the U.S. Attorney's Office for their successful handling of this case," General Conway said. "I also appreciate the hard work and dedication of the investigators in my Cybercrimes Unit who work every day to make the Internet a safer place for Kentucky kids." Investigators from General Conway's Cybercrimes Unit, with assistance from Kentucky State Police, arrested Hornback on February 26, 2010 after executing a search warrant at Hornback's home. His arrest was the result of a nearly five-month investigation by the Cybercrimes Unit. Hornback was arraigned in U.S. District Court, Eastern District in Lexington on September 25, 2010.
