After pleading guilty to child pornography charges, a Northern Kentucky woman who participated on a famous MTV show was sentenced to prison.
Lori Wickelhaus, 29, was charged with 20 counts of possessing a matter depicting a juvenile in a sexual performance last year.
According to a police report acquired by The Sun, the task force informed county police that a “unknown suspect uploaded photographs of child pornography to a dropbox account.”
A court then issued a warrant, allowing officers to search her home and confiscate her iPhone and laptop. They reported they discovered illicit pornography on it.
In 2010, Wickelhaus made an appearance on the second season of “Sixteen and Pregnant.”
According to MTV’s website, the episode focused on Wickelhaus’ dilemma on whether or not to place her baby for adoption.
Wickelhaus was given a 6.5-year sentence. The judge stipulated that she must receive mental health counseling as part of her plea agreement.
