A media minister at an Ocean Springs church pleaded guilty Monday to a federal charge of possessing child pornography.
Cameron Cotrill, 66, of Vancleave entered the plea Monday in federal court in Gulfport. In exchange for the plea, federal prosecutors dismissed a second charge of distribution of child pornography. U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden deferred sentencing in the case.
After Cotrill's initial arrest, Cotrill and his family vowed he was innocent of the crime. Now, he is pleading guilty of having 9,900 child sexual abuse images.

Celeste Borys, one of the women suing Tim Ballard, flew to California with her lawyer last week to file criminal complaints alleging the founder of Operation Underground Railroad sexually assaulted her in four jurisdictions, according to her attorney. Borys, who was Ballard's executive assistant from March 2023 until last fall, previously filed a criminal complaint with the Lindon Police Department in Utah County.
She now has also reported assaults to police departments in San Diego, San Clemente, the San Jose suburb of Campbell, and to Los Angeles Airport police, according to Borys' attorney Suzette Rasmussen. Operation Underground Railroad filed a counterclaim against Borys last month, accusing her of violating terms of nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements she had signed.
Emails Show Anti-LGBTQ Activist Provided Victims to Southern Baptist Pedophile
In 2017, a Houston college student wrote to the family of Paul Pressler, warning them that the Texas judge and Southern Baptist leader was a pedophile. "There is a serious issue at hand," he wrote in an email, adding that Pressler had recently touched him, and bragged about being naked with young boys. "I do not think Paul should be around small children or have male assistance of any kind."
Then, the young man said he was resigning as Pressler's personal aide, and asked that Pressler's former law partner Jared Woodfill stop paying him to work out of Pressler's Houston mansion. The email was filed late last year in Harris County district court as part of a lawsuit that accused Woodfill and others of concealing decades of alleged rape by Pressler.
It sheds new light on the role that Woodfill, a prominent anti-LGBTQ activist who is running in the Texas House with the backing of Attorney General Ken Paxton, played in providing Pressler with access to potential victims.
Last month, the Southern Baptist Convention settled a sexual abuse lawsuit against Pressler. Since then, seven additional men have come forward, and accused Pressler of molesting them as teenagers.
In February of 2019, Pressler lost his years-long legal battle to stop the city of Houston from providing spousal benefits to LGBTQ city employees; and in March of 2020, he represented local anti-LGBTQ pastors in a failed lawsuit to overturn Texas lockdown rules.
In March of 2023, Woodfill testified that he knew about the allegations against Pressler and said nothing; and that October, it was reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson had headed a law school that was named for Pressler after allegations came out.
Newsmax Orders Mandatory Sexual Harassment Training
Newsmax staffers received a memorandum on Monday morning alerting them to a mandatory company-wide sexual harassment training, just months after a sexual harassment scandal involving a top executive rocked the conservative cable news outlet.
The training, which will run for an entire week in February, comes after allegations against Newsmax vice president of programming Chris Knowles were reported in November.
Two Newsmax staffers state that Newsmax did not launch an investigation into Knowles's conduct despite the reporting of the complaints lodged against him. "No investigation whatsoever," one staffer said. "No repercussions whatsoever. He's still number three."
Examples of Knowles's harassment include circulating photographs of a female subordinate's cleavage around the office without her knowledge, and asking another woman to remove her skirt.
Four sources said that he was told to correct his behavior, but hea has faced no repercussions.
Other staffers claimed Knowles, who is married to Anastasia Trainor Knowles, had an affair with a female employee. A Newsmax producer said, "Knowles isn't very good at hiding his tracks."

On Monday, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said about 2,000 state emails of his late predecessor, Wayne Stenehjem, were recovered in a backup from Stenehjem's personal cellphone. They were found as investigators were preparing for the trial of former Republican state Senator Ray Holmberg.
Holmberg, 80, of Grand Forks is charged with traveling to Europe with the intent of paying for sex with a minor, and with receiving images depicting child sexual abuse, according to a federal indictment unsealed in October 2023. He has pleaded not guilty. A trial is scheduled to begin in April.
Liberty University Fined $16M for Covering-Up Rapes
The Education Department is imposing a record $14-million fine on Liberty University for violations of federal law regarding campus safety.
Liberty must also spend $2-million on campus safety improvements, in addition to the money it has already budgeted for Clery operations, during a two-year post-review monitoring period.
Liberty is private, but all schools that participate in federal financial aid programs must comply with the Clery Act, a federal law that requires timely reporting of crime statistics and other information about campus safety. And Liberty received nearly $880 million for student loans and grants from the Education Department in 2022–3.
