In March, Mabel's boyfriend, Justin Ritchie, was accused of sexually abusing three children.

During that investigation Sanford police officers found videos of Mabel on Ritchie's phone.

Mabel pleaded guilty Tuesday as part of a plea agreement that included a second count to be dismissed.

She is facing 15-30 years in prison.

A court date for her sentencing has not been set at this time.

Mabel remains in custody.
