Murrells Inlet Nanny Pleas Guilty of Abusing 5 Month Old Baby

61 year old Murrells Inlet nanny, Cheryl White, today pled guilty to two counts of abusing a 5 month old in March 2008.

White was charged with child abuse after the parents of the child showed a videotape from a nanny cam to investigators. The parents originally decided to set up the nanny cam after watching a Nancy Grace TV show about child abuse.

Horry County jurors listened to opening arguments yesterday and watched 2 hours of the six hour vhs tape but today they never heard any testimony before White pleaded guilty.

The judge, Circuit Court Judge Larry Hyman, sentenced White to 10 years on each count but suspended the sentence to five years probation.

The Murrells Inlet nanny was also ordered by Hyman to register with the South Carolina Department of Social Services abuse registry. The registry is a lifetime register for the state’s child abusers.
