A janitor who hid cameras inside a dance studio pleaded guilty to federal charges today.

Jeremy Nelson put cameras inside the dressing rooms and restrooms at Ann's Studio of Dance in Huntsville.

Wednesday Nelson pled guilty to 7 federal counts of child pornography and child exploitation.

Nelson entered a not guilty plea in December but then changed his mind. In changing his plea to guilty, Nelson waived his right to a trial and will now have to register as a sex offender.

The State Bureau of Investigation arrested Nelson in October. He's still facing four counts of child porn in Madison County.

The feds handed down charges soon after.

Nelson worked as a janitor for Sanitary System.

His sentencing for the federal charges he pleaded guilty to today is June 9.

The case in Madison County is pending before a grand jury.
