OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A grand jury has indicted a northeast Mississippi man on federal charges that he tried to produce child pornography after officials say he recorded girls changing in a locker room.
Micah Macay Wilbanks of Corinth faces charges filed last week of sexual exploitation of children.
The indictment comes after charges were filed against the then-coach for a May 2 incident. Authorities say a student found Wilbanks’ cellphone hidden in a locker room at Kossuth Middle School.
Wilbanks is jailed in Oxford and has waived a detention hearing. He hasn’t yet entered a plea.
Wilbanks faces 15 years to life in prison and a fine up to $250,000 if convicted.
Previous law enforcement documents say Wilbanks appeared drunk or high and that deputies overheard Wilbanks describing himself as a “pedophile.”
