Woman Sentenced to Forty Years After Evidence of Sexual Abuse of Infant is Found

On Thursday, the district attorney of Forrest and Perry County Lin Carter announced that Meghan McClellan had pleaded guilty to sexual battery of a child and sentenced to forty years in prison.

The plea recommendation from the state was accepted from the Circuit Court Judge Robert Helfrich.

Twenty years will be served by McClellan day-to-day, and the other twenty years will be suspended under post-release supervision. Along with this, she will also be required to register as a sex offender.

The arrest and plea comes after authorities seized video evidence of the act being performed by McClellan.
