CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — A Texas woman must serve 30 years in prison for a babysitting scam in which she recorded her convicted sex offender boyfriend abusing a toddler in their care.

Rosa Linda Ganceres was sentenced Monday to the maximum term by a federal judge in Corpus Christi. The 54-year-old Mathis woman in June pleaded guilty to production of child pornography.

Investigators say Ganceres and her boyfriend, 43-year-old Daniel Benson Billman Jr. of Aransas Pass, advertised online in 2015 as babysitters. Prosecutors say a woman hired the pair to watch her daughter, then Billman sexually assaulted the girl and Ganceres recorded the abuse.

Billman earlier this year pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
