Cochran reportedly told family members not to go through his laptop because “there were things on it that he did not want others to see.”
The victim’s stepmother found the laptop, and unlocked it, where she found multiple videos of the victim, a relative of Cochran.
After an interview was conducted with the victim, she revealed Cochran abused her for three years.
