Former Deputy Sentenced for Child Abuse | Columbus News

A former Fayette County deputy just got a brutal 42- to 45-year sentence for trafficking child sexual abuse material — convicted on 124 counts, including second-degree felonies. The case erupted after federal investigators flagged suspicious activity at his home last February, leading to his arrest in March — just before he resigned. Prosecutors sought up to 52 years, calling it a life sentence to protect the public. Bennett will also be a tier-two sex offender, facing five years of post-release supervision.
