A mother who allegedly tried to sell her 13 year old daughter's virginity has admitted having the girl model for men in a bra and thong .
The 33 year old Utah women pleaded guilty in Salt Lake City to two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

She also had faced two first-degree felony counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child and life in prison if convicted.

But prosecutors agreed to drop those charges in exchange for her plea. She faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing December 5.

Authorities said the woman offered her daughter's virginity to a man earlier this year in exchange for $10,000.
Initially, the daughter agreed and modelled with her mom for a man on two occasions in a bra and thong underwear.

When she was 15 the  woman also took pictures of the girl and sent the photos to another man, who was interested in buying them.

The girl eventually decided against the virginity-for-money arrangement.
Discussions about the sale of the girl's virginity were found on the woman's cellphone by her boyfriend, who turned them over to police.

Charges were filed against the woman in May, and she has been in jail since her arrest.
