Raeford, N.C. — The wife of a Fort Bragg soldier found guilty of various sex crimes against a child inside their home pleaded guilty to her role in the crimes on Monday.

Lori Anthony pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree rape, attempted incest, felony child abuse involving a sex act, first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and taking indecent liberties with a child.

After entering her plea in a Hoke County courtroom, she was sentenced to at least 12 years in prison.

Last year, her husband, Andrew Anthony, pleaded guilty to various sex crimes against a child and was sentenced to at least 13 years in prison.

Investigators said Andrew Anthony, of the 3rd Battalion of the 27th Field Artillery Regiment, and his wife molested two children and shot illicit pictures and video of them. They were arrested in August of 2005.

Good points, thanks. I definitely don't condone naming the victims, in any case. But I'd like to know what to watch out for -- these two were probably considered "trusted adults" by someone, which is a shame.

Are there any advocate sites out there that provide warning signs? Do warning signs even exist? I'm looking for good, balanced advice that isn't likely to just cause paranoia.

Although honestly, sometimes paranoia seems like a good idea....

if they told all the story here 'you are correct sir" then those that would like to copy the act as sick as it is would have the perfect instructional tool. Sometimes less said is definately better. I am sure the powers that be have decidedit is best for public health in general not to tell everything to the readers..

"That is correct sir," it may be that they don't give more details in order to avoid identifying the survivor(s) of the crime. With the "blame the victim" mentality that so many people have, and with these young people already terrorized, they deserve protection and privacy.
