FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — An 18-year-old man accused of posing as a 12-year-old to enroll at a Hurst elementary school has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Ricardo Lugo was sentenced to prison Monday for indecency with a child, and received 10 years of probation for possession with intent to promote child pornography. Authorities say Lugo was enrolled in the 6th grade last year at Hurst Hills Elementary School, and his enrollment was supported by false documents presented to the school.

Twenty-nine-year-old Randy Ray Wesson, who Hurst police say posed as Lugo's father, pleaded guilty earlier to federal child pornography charges. Authorities say they discovered thousands of child pornography images in Wesson's home during a raid.

He is scheduled to be sentenced December 3.
