SHERMAN, Texas (KTEN) — A Denison man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to promotion of child pornography and the attempted sexual assault of a child. 

The sentence for Raymond Lynn Foltermann, 38, followed a plea agreement, the Grayson County District Attorney's Office said Friday.

Foltermann — who admitted to possessing and sending child pornography to multiple people and intending to victmize children — will be required to register as a sex offender for life.

Prosecutors said a citizen called Denison police last June after receiving videos of child pornography from Foltermann, who had been looking for children to babysit.  

“The actions of the tipster are admirable and made it possible to rid our community of a very dangerous man," said First Assistant District Attorney Kerye Ashmore, who prosecuted the case.
