MS Man Guilty on Child Porn Charges

A 56-year-old Meridian man faces five years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. Attorney General Jim Hood said Tuesday that Roy Lynn Ellis pleaded guilty to four counts of possession of child pornography. Lauderdale County Circuit Judge Lester Williamson sentenced Ellis to five years and also ordered a five-year suspended sentence with supervised release. Hood says Ellis was also assessed a $1,000 fine and will have to register as a sex offender.
