Former Memphis wrestling star Nightmare Ken Wayne sentenced for possession of child porn
Posted: Feb 4th 2016 By: www.commercialappeal.com
A Horn Lake man has been sentenced to 20 years for child exploitation after investigators found him in possession of child pornography.
Kenneth Dewayne Peal, 57, will serve five years with the remaining 15 years of his sentence under post-release supervision by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. He must also pay $1,000 to the Mississippi Children's Trust Fund, $1,000 to the Mississippi Crime Victims Compensation Fund and must register as a sex offender.
Peal once was a star on the Memphis wrestling circuit under the name "Nightmare" Ken Wayne.
Peal was sentenced after pleading guilty to DeSoto County Circuit Judge Robert P. Chamberlin Jr.
Peal was arrested Sept. 9 by investigators with the Attorney General's Cyber Crime Unit and the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department. Investigators found Peal had numerous images and videos of child pornography.
The arrest was made through the Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
"We will continue to work with the task force to put these kinds of criminals behind bars, and we thank Judge Chamberlin for the sentence and the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office for their assistance on this case," Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood said in a prepared statement.
