The Lawrenceburg man who late last year pleaded guilty to a host of child pornography distribution charges was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday morning in Anderson County Circuit Court.
Mark Hawks, 55, who previously lived at 402 Secretariat Drive, received the maximum sentence allowed, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Laura Donnell.
Public defender Scott Getsinger asked Judge Charles Hickman to consider parole for Hawks, who had a previous sex offense conviction in the late 1980s for inappropriately touching an 8-year-old niece.
