Guilty Plea In Cochran Photo Case

CANTON, Miss. (AP) – A man accused videotaping the ill wife of a U.S. senator has pleaded guilty to conspiracy.

Clayton Kelly of Pearl, Mississippi entered the plea Monday. He faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. It was not immediately clear when he would be sentences.

Kelly was accused of shooting video of the wife of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran while she was bedridden with dementia in a nursing home.

Images of Rose Cochran appeared online briefly during the 2014 election, during a tough Republican primary. Investigators say Kelly was one of several people who conspired to produce the video suggesting the senator was having an affair.
