A UW-Madison professor arrested while trying to meet a 14-year-old Greendale boy last March will spend 30 days in jail for sending the boy sexually explicit material.

Lewis Keith Cohen, 60, pleaded no contest and was found guilty Wednesday of a felony charge of exposing a child to harmful material. As part of a plea deal, felony charges of using a computer to facilitate a sex crime and child enticement, each of which carried a sentence of up to 25 years, were dropped.
