Ex-Pennsylvania state senator Mike Folmer pleads guilty in child porn case
LEBANON, Pa. — A former Pennsylvania state lawmaker charged last fall with possession of child pornography pleaded guilty Thursday.
Mike Folmer (R) entered a guilty plea in Lebanon County Court to three counts of possessing child porn and one count of criminal use of a communications facility for having items on his cellphone.
Folmer did not comment as he left the courtroom, but told the judge he would have something to say at his sentencing hearing, scheduled for late May.
Folmer faces up to 10 years in prison, but his attorney Brian Perry said after Thursday's hearing that he hopes the sentence will be far shorter.
