COLDWTER, MI (WTVB) – A Coldwater woman formally entered into a plea agreement with Branch County Prosecutors Thursday in a child sex abuse case.
26-year-old Jamie Siler of Coldwater entered a no contest plea in Branch County Circuit Court to a charge of attempted second degree child abuse. The original charges of second degree child abuse and child sexually abusive activity were dismissed by prosecutors in exchange for her plea.
Sentencing is scheduled for September 30, 2019.
Siler was arrested following an investigation by Michigan State Police. She was the girlfriend of the other suspect in the case, 24-year-old Brandon Michael Biggs.
Authorities say she did not stop Biggs from his sex crimes involving an eight year old girl, which State Police say took place over a six month period.
Biggs was ordered almost a year ago to serve between 79 months and 10 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections after he entered no contest pleas to charges of distributing and promoting child abusive material, having child sexually abusive material, and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration. Biggs also had to register as a Michigan Sex Offender.
