A woman from Council Bluffs has pleaded guilty to sharing obscene materials and enticing a 15-year-old male. The Daily NonPareil reports 27-year old Jessica Pritchard pleaded guilty to one count of enticement of a minor (an aggravated misdemeanor), and one count of dissemination of obscene material to a minor (a serious misdemeanor). She’s set to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 7th.
Pritchard was arrested on July 23rd in Alliance, Nebraska, and charged with four counts of third-degree sexual abuse involving a minor and four counts of dissemination and exhibition of obscene material to a minor. The woman was booked into Pottawattamie County Jail on July 26th and remains held on $30,000 bond. By pleading guilty to two charges, the other six counts, including four felony sexual abuse charges, were dismissed.
The charges stem from an alleged relationship between Pritchard and a 15-year-old boy in 2015.
