A Glenpool woman was sentenced Friday to 45 years in prison on counts of sexually abusing a 4-year-old relative and permitting the girl to be sexually abused by the woman's boyfriend.

Samantha Jo Bryant, 23, pleaded guilty May 10 with no agreement with prosecutors to govern her punishment.

Tulsa County District Judge Tom Gillert sentenced her Friday to consecutive prison terms of 30 years and 15 years. He agreed to review the sentence in one year.

Bryant will have to serve at least 85 percent of her prison sentence before she can be eligible for parole.

Prosecutors alleged 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, 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.

However, after he was arrested by the FBI, he made an initial appearance in federal court in Tulsa in March on the federal charge that was filed in Florida.

Bryant was arrested March 29. Her arrest report indicates that the allegations against her came during a larger federal child pornography investigation.

The FBI took evidence such as computers, cellphones and other digital media to its crime lab for analysis, according to the document.
