A Cleveland, Tn., man who was caught in a child sex sting in early February 2016 has been sentenced to serve 15 years in federal prison.

Michael Shane Wyatt, 43, appeared before Judge Travis McDonough.

He was convicted earlier after a trial in Federal Court.

During the sting, TBI agents posed as underage girls who offered sex online.

The agent arranged to meet with Wyatt in Chattanooga.

Wyatt was arrested when he arrived at the designated location.
