A clinical psychologist had testified via phone that Wright had anti-social personality traits before Rice cut the doctor off for “lack of professionalism.”
Dr. Anthony Byrd testified in person on Monday ahead of Wednesday’s sentencing.
Wright faced a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years, according to court documents. In April, Wright pleaded guilty to two child pornography counts and was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation.

Byrd, who has worked at the Dayton VA for 26 years, said during his initial testimony that testing showed that Wright tried to suppress negative aspects of his personality.
Between June 30, 2013 and July 24, 2015, Wright had more than 700 images on his cell phone or computer that “contained visual depictions of prepubescent minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct,” according to the case’s statement of facts.
Wright had at least 23 images of child pornography in his Twitter account, and had traded at least six photos with other users, according to court records. In July 2015, federal agents seized his electronics.

Wright, who served prison time in the 1990s for a case in Greene County, was a volunteer football coach for the Park Layne Wee Arrows youth football organization.
As a non-profit, the group was not required to do background checks on coaches but has started to do them after this incident.
Wright was sent to prison in the Greene County case in 1996 for three years after being convicted of a similar offense involving a minor in nudity material.
