16 and Pregnant star Lori Wickelhaus pleaded GUILTY to possession of child porn and will be sentenced in just a few weeks.
A clerk for a Kentucky court confirmed exclusively to The Sun that Lori, 28, entered a plea of guilty at her May 10 court hearing.
She will be sentenced for the crime on June 29.
As The Sun previously reported, a 20-count indictment warrant was issued for Lori’s arrest on August 13, 2020 for possession of viewing matter portraying sexual performance of a minor from the dates September 23, 2019, December 18, 2019 and December 19, 2019.
Authorities revealed she was arrested on Monday, August 24.
In the police report obtained by The Sun, the pornography was allegedly found on an iPhone and white chrome laptop PC.
The police received a Cybertip from the Kentucky State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force when an “unknown subject uploaded images that depict child pornography to a dropbox account," according to the report.
Lori was released on $10,000 cash bond.
In the mugshot obtained by The Sun, Lori appeared hysterical.
In September, she pleaded not guilty to the 20 counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, according to a Kentucky court.
A jury trial was scheduled for May 10, 2021, the day she changed her plea.
Lori deactivated her social media after her arrest.
Lori appeared on the Season 2, Episode 5 of 16 and Pregnant.
On her episode, she placed her son Aidan with then-boyfriend Cory Haskett for adoption after her parents encouraged her to.
Lori spent time at Q&A Associates in West Virginia, a transitional program for young adults.
In 2012, Lori gave a rare interview regarding her struggle with depression following the adoption.
She said: “Before I got here I was on a downward spiral. I had no dreams, I didn’t have any goals, I didn’t care what happened day to day.
"I’d wake up and go right back to bed. There was nothing to get up and work for. Now I have everything to work for.
