On Tuesday a  Lawrence County man was sentenced to 50+ years in prison. 49 year old Dale Allen Fraley was convicted on five counts of production, four counts of receipt, one count of distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of a matter containing visual depictions of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. 

Fraley was sentenced to 57 years in prison. 

United States Attorney’s Office officials said in a release that evidence showed Fraley used several online personas to communicate with and persuade minors into sexually explicit conduct. 

Fraley was originally convicted in May of 2021. 

The release said he must serve 85% of his prison sentence, which is about 48 years. 

Once released he will be supervised by a probation officer for life.
