Camille Randles, 24, pleaded guilty to second-degree felony counts of child abuse involving physical injury and obstructing justice in connection with the death of 3-month-old Aroura Lee Randles in 2006.
Randles also pleaded guilty to a class B misdemeanor of failing to report child abuse. Randles faces up to 30 years in prison when sentenced Dec. 10 by 2nd District Judge J. Brent West.
Her former boyfriend, Trevor Thomas Grover, was sentenced in April to 15 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to strangling the girl with a sock. Randles admitted standing by while Grover harmed the child, as well as participating in the abuse.
Grover told police he strangled the infant with a sock because he was jealous of the attention she received from her mother and could not make the child stop crying. He also admitted to cutting off the child's breathing until she passed out on two other occasions.
