Man sentenced for sex abuse

By Staff
A Morgan County man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection with sexual abuse charges.
Daniel Scott Carr, 30, also known as Merlin, had sexual intercourse with a minor and videotaped it. According to court documents, he then made additional copies of the tap. He is presently serving time in state prison on convictions of sex abuse and statutory rape involving other victims. The judge considered that fact in determining his sentence in this case.
Carr’s 15-year federal prison sentence will begin after he completes his state prison sentence. His earliest possible release date on that sentence is 2011. Judge Proctor also ordered Carr to remain on supervised release for the rest of his life after he serves his federal prison sentence.
Carr pleaded guilty to the federal child pornography charges in August.
