Woman pleads guilty to sex abuse charges

Earlier this week, Jennifer Candida Gonzales pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted forcible sexual abuse as part of a plea deal.

The Provo Daily Herald reports that Gonzales admitted to having a relationship with a 16-year-old boy, which was discovered by her husband, Richard, when he came home early from work one day.

At that time, he pulled a handgun on the couple and threatened to kill them. Aggravated assault charges are still pending against him.
