A former Kansas Bureau of Investigation administrator has been disbarred by the state Supreme Court.
Former KBI deputy director Kyle G. Smith was third in line at the bureau last November when an agency secretary found a photo of a teenage girl engaged in sexually explicit conduct that was traced to Smith's email account.
Smith pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child earlier this year and was sentenced to 32 months in prison.
That sentence was suspended and he was then placed on probation for three years. He also must register as a sex offender for 25 years.
The Supreme Court issued its disbarment order Friday.
Smith surrendered his Kansas law license September 17th.
