Lawmaker Headed To Prison on Child Porn Conviction

A former state politician is headed to prison and if he’s telling the truth about his health he won’t live to see the end of his sentence. Former Democratic State Rep. Keith Farnham was sentenced to 8 years in prison for possession and distribution of child porn. Farnham and his lawyer had been asking for home confinement so the former lawmaker could live his final few months at home, Farnham is suffering from pulmonary fibrosis and a doctor says he’s going to die in 4 months. A federal judge saw little reason for pity ordering Farmham to prison in 60 days. The US Attorney’s office pointed out that Farnham was diagnosed with the illness in 2011 and kept viewing child porn until his arrest in 2014.
