New River mom accused of molesting, filming children now pleads guilty

Keri Harwood is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 22.

A New River woman accused of molesting two young children and selling videos of the acts online has charged her plea to guilty in the case.

The 29-year-old Harwood was arrested last August on suspicion of five counts each of child molestation and sexual exploitation of a minor and originally pleaded not guilty.

She pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
