A Utah woman will not fight extradition to Belgium to face child abuse charges similar to those that she pleaded guilty to in Utah. In both cases, Aubrey Alta Anderson was acting as a nanny to newborn twins.
U.S. Magistrate Paul Warner signed an extradition order after Anderson and her attorney said an agreement on extradition had been reached and she would not contest removal to Belgium.
Anderson, 34, was allowed to remain free from custody until extradition takes place. But Warner ordered she not travel outside Salt Lake County without permission.
Anderson is wanted in Belgium to face charges she assaulted twin infants in May and June 2011, after she was hired as a nanny by a couple there.
The parents took the twins to the hospital after they noticed swelling. X-rays revealed both infants had broken arms and Anderson fled to the United States.
After returning to Utah, Anderson became the nanny to the newborn twins of a Park City couple. Then in January 2012 the mother and a second nanny discovered injuries and took the children to Primary Children's Hospital where a doctor found injuries including broken ankles and ribs.
Anderson pleaded guilty in 3rd District Court to two third-degree felony child abuse charges and in June 2013 was given a suspended prison sentence, fined $10,000 and ordered to pay about $5,182 in restitution.
She also was ordered not to have any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 14 who are not related to her and was placed on probation for five years.
