Mother pleads guilty to creating porn with twins


.
MADISON (AP) — An Illinois woman faces at least 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to doping her 6-year-old twin girls with cough syrup and taking nude pictures of them with her boyfriend.

The 30-year-old mother pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in western Wisconsin to creating child pornography.
Her boyfriend, 37-year-old Roger Smith of Hollandale, pleaded guilty last month to sexually exploiting children. Both are due for sentencing in September.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ordered the mother, who is pregnant, placed at a federal Bureau of Prisons medical center until sentencing.

The twins have lived with their father since the couple divorced in October. The pictures were taken in November and February at the woman's home in west-central Illinois.

The Associated Press generally does not identify people who may be victims of sexual assault and naming the mother could reveal the girls' identities.

" I bet all of you are missing the real point. She is a mother who drugged and exploited her own children. She is a terrible person, that's all that matters. What religion, race, political party, who cares? She deserves to go to prison and never see her children again. What are those poor girls going to do when they are old enough to understand the seriousness of this all. And all you people are doing is making light of it, like it's no big deal. I bet you're all idiots. "
