GREENVILLE, Miss. (WJTV) – A former Booneville High School assistant basketball coach was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he was convicted for online enticement of a minor.

According to court documents, Kenny Paul Geno, 28, used a minor to make and produce child sexual abuse materials, and enticed minor students to self-produce “nudes” to send to him.

The investigation started in October 2022, when the FBI received a complaint alleging that Geno was sending minors at the high school inappropriate Snapchat communications. Several current and former female students reported that Geno solicited images of sexually explicit conduct over Snapchat.

At least one former student advised that she engaged in sexual contact with Geno that he recorded on his cell phone. During the ongoing investigation, several videos of child sexual abuse material involving minor victims were recovered on Geno’s cell phone hidden within an encrypted application used to store the media.

On Wednesday, Chief U.S. District Judge Debra M. Brown ordered Geno to serve 120 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.

The FBI investigated the case.
