The Clark County woman accused of helping fund terrorism through a credit card scam has entered a guilty plea to the crime, according to the Winchester Sun.

Betty Stidham plead guilty to criminal attempt to receive stolen property and to attempted fraudulent use of a credit card.

She will have to pay six thousand dollars in restitution, but will not spend any time behind bars.

Police say Stidham was ordering and shipping items purchased on credit cards with stolen numbers. Her children say she believed she had a relationship with the person who identified himself as Kelvin Scott, a Florida based bank executive. Authorities say the man is from Nigeria and is affiliated with a terrorist group known for making fake credit cards with stolen account numbers.
