A Vandalia man has been sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

60-year-old Thomas Scott had been arrested on six counts of the same offense in December 2020.

Scott pleaded guilty to three counts in Fayette County Circuit Court. Three similar counts were dismissed.

Scott was sentenced to three years in prison on each of the three counts to which he pleaded guilty. The sentences will be served consecutively, not together. He was given credit for more than 500 days spent in Fayette County Jail awaiting disposition of the case.
