A Glenpool woman pleaded guilty Friday to sexually abusing a 4-year-old relative and to permitting the girl to be sexually abused by the woman's boyfriend.

Samantha Jo Bryant, 23, was arrested in March and remains in the Tulsa Jail. She has no plea agreement with prosecutors to govern her punishment.

Tulsa County District Judge Tom Gillert scheduled her sentencing for June 21.

"You should not expect to be going home that day," Gillert told Bryant.

Convictions on each of the felony counts filed against Bryant require her to serve at least 85 percent of any prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

Each of the two counts allows the possibility of a life prison term.

Prosecutors allege in court documents that Bryant performed a sex act on a 4-year-old girl at a Glenpool residence while Jon Adleta took photographs.

Adleta, whose last name is spelled Adelta in some records, also has been accused of performing a sex act on the girl as Bryant recorded it on her cellphone, according to an arrest report.

The offenses occurred in or about December 2012, the charges against Bryant state.

Adleta has been indicted in federal court in Florida on an allegation of being involved in the interstate transportation of a minor with an intent to engage in sexual activity.

He has not been charged in Tulsa County District Court concerning his alleged conduct regarding Bryant and the 4-year-old, records indicate.
