The sentencing came nearly two months after Waymire pleaded guilty to one second-degree felony charge of pandering obscenity involving a minor or impaired person and five fourth-degree felony counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor or impaired person, according to court records.

As part of his plea agreement, the remaining six charges he was facing were dropped.
