Woman Pleads Guilty To Attempted Sex Abuse Of Teen

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Maryland woman has pleaded guilty to attempted sexual abuse of a 17-year-old boy whom she met while she worked in a youth employment program.

Loni Haggins, 30, of Bowie, Md. entered the plea Friday. She faces a year in prison at sentencing in December and must register as a sex offender for 10 years.

According to government evidence, Haggins worked as a supervisor for a Summer Youth Employment Program in Washington, in which the victim was a participant. Prosecutors say beginning in August 2010, Haggins engaged in sex acts with the youth.

Prosecutors say Haggins gave birth to the youth's child. She was arrested last month.
