A Paris man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for possession of child pornography.
Matthew Tipton, 27, of Paris, received the recommended sentencing given to him by a jury in December 2016 when he was found guilty of 20 counts of possession of child pornography.
This case was the result of a 2015 investigation into Tipton by Attorney General Beshear’s Cyber Crimes Unit. The investigation uncovered more than 2,000 images and 150 videos depicting child pornography stored on devices in Tipton’s home.

Beshear’s Office of Special Prosecutions prosecuted the case.
The Office of the Attorney General’s work to prevent child abuse in 2016 led to the arrest of more online child predators than any year in the history of the office. The number of arrests, indictments and convictions total nearly 80.
Tipton will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.
