Philadelphia Woman Pleads Guilty In Sexual Abuse Case Involving 6-Year-Old And 16-Month-Old

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Philadelphia woman pleaded guilty Monday to charges in a case of child exploitation that involved the alleged sexual abuse of a six-year-old and a 16-month-old, investigators said.

Christine Yoder, 32, has been charged with two counts of employing a child to produce images of the child engaged in sexually explicit conduct and two counts of distributing material involving the sexual exploitation of children.

Investigators say in May of 2014, Yoder sent a photograph to an undercover FBI agent of a six-year-old, which depicted that child engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

Investigators also say Yoder offered to fly the six-year-old to Detroit for sexual activity.

In addition, investigators say Yoder also produced pornographic photographs of a 16-month old.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 10th.

Yoder faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison with a maximum possible sentence of life in prison.
