A Williamson County judge sentenced a father to 30 days in jail and almost two years of probation after he took inappropriate photos of his former sister-in-law’s dress for years without her knowing. In court, Kate McClinton wore the same dress she said she was wearing when Will Cotten took the photos, proving it was a modest outfit. Will Cotten pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful photography, but even after he was sentenced, his former family is still pushing for more. Cotten was found guilty in Florida of video voyeurism and was sentenced to five years of probation. His record cannot be expunged. Kate McClinton said she wants her former brother-in-law, Cotten, on the sex offender registry. That will be determined by a judge at a later date.
