Judge David P. Rush ordered a pre-sentencing investigation. No date has been set for sentencing.
According to a plea agreement filed Tuesday, Schweitzer will have to serve the full sentence no matter what it is, but she will reduce it somewhat by her cooperation with federal prosecutors.
"(Schweitzer) has admitted her guilt and clearly accepted responsibility for her actions and has assisted authorities in this investigation," the plea agreement said.
The agreement stipulates that it will have no effect on whether Jasper County or Newton County officials continue to pursue their cases against her. Cases against Schweitzer involving the same crimes have been filed in both counties.
Schweitzer will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Schweitzer's crimes were spelled out in the agreement:
