Magistrate of Tirukazhukundram court pronounced the sentence on July 27 after finding Miles Patrick, a resident of New York, guilty of inducing young fishermen into homosexuality by showing pornographic films and giving narcotics.
The court sentenced Srinivasan, a local associate of Partick, to three-year rigorous imprisonment for aiding and abetting him in his acts.
The two were arrested by the Mahablipuram police last year on a complaint from 25-year old local fisherman Desamuthu.
Patrick, a painter, frequently visited Mahabalipuram, famous for its ancient sculptures and the shore temples, in 1998 and stayed there later.
