A Florida woman, who admits arranging the molestation of a 4-year-old relative by her boyfriend, faces a possible 30-year prison term, court records show.

Rhonda Bays, a 39-year-old mother from Eustis, Fla., also said she later offered up a 2-year-old relative and discussed adopting "sex slaves" with boyfriend Tanner Stickney, 29, of Washington, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday. They also talked about kidnapping a "slave."

Bays has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Orlando to charges of production of child pornography and conspiring with another to travel for the purpose of sex with a minor.

Her attorney called her a sick woman used by her boyfriend for his own "evil exploits." They were arrested in May.

Stickney could get 15 years in prison under his plea bargain.

Defense attorney Kyle Fletcher said that after Stickney was arrested at Orlando International Airport, he proceeded to "set up" Frank Lombard, a high-ranking administrator at Duke University.

Lombard, associate director of the Center for Health Policy at Duke, was arrested after he allegedly offered up his 5-year-old adopted son for sex in an undercover operation, federal court documents said. Duke fired Lombard in June.
