16 & Pregnant alum Lori Wickelhaus gave a wicked grin in her first mugshot following her years-long prison bid on child pornography charges. The former MTV star was released from prison in November 2023 after she had spent 26 months of her six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for possessing child sex abuse materials, per The U.S.
Sun. Lori had to register as a sex offender in Kentucky due to the conviction. Since her release, the rarely-seen all-grown-up teen mom was seen for the first time in a set of mugshot photos originally obtained by The U.
S. Sun. Lori was captured in the first mugshot, dated November 7, 2023, which was a week after her release from prison, smirking at the camera in glasses and a green zip-up hoodie.
Meanwhile, in the second mugshot, which was dated March 6, 2024, Lori smiled as she lost her glasses and had her blonde hair in a messy bun. Lori’s type of registry is listed as "lifetime," and her status is deemed as "compliant." Right now, she lives with her parents, given that her address is listed at their three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Covington, Kentucky.
During Lori’s time behind bars, she cut off her hair and rocked a short cut. In August 2020, Lori was arrested and charged with 20 counts of possession of viewing matter portraying sexual performance of a minor. At the time she was apprehended, Lori was released on a $10,000 cash bond.
On August 13, 2020, a 20-count indictment warrant was issued for possession of viewing matter portraying sexual performance of a minor from the dates of September 23, 2019, December 18, 2019, and December 19, 2019. Pornography was allegedly found on an iPhone and a white chrome laptop PC, according to the police report obtained by The U.S.
Sun. The police got a Cybertip from the Kentucky State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force after an “unknown subject uploaded images that depict child pornography to a dropbox account," according to the aforementioned report. Lori ended up pleading guilty to the charges against her, and she was arrested on June 30, 2021, for contempt of court.
Her arrest came an hour after she was scheduled to appear in court for her child pornography sentencing. Although the court and jail couldn’t confirm why Lori was held in contempt, a clerk explained that it was possible she could’ve missed the court hearing or disrespected the judge.
