A woman has pleaded guilty to kidnapping an infant from a Florida hospital nearly 20 years ago!
The plea agreement 52-year-old Gloria Williams accepted Monday in Jacksonville calls for a prison sentence of up to 22 years when she's sentenced in May.
Williams is accused of posing as an employee of what was University Hospital (now UF Health Jacksonville) in 1998, and walking out with a baby named Kamiyah Mobley.
Just over a year ago, two tips led Jacksonville police to the teenager (now 19-years-old) Williams raised in South Carolina as Alexis Manigo, and tests matched her DNA with that of the kidnapped baby.
If Williams were to be convicted at trial, she could face a maximum of life in prison, but Manigo said she was hoping the woman who raised her would face less than 10 years in prison.
Attorneys in this case said that the wishes of Alexis Manigo and her birth parents could play a role in the terms or Williams' plea agreement.
The girl's biological parents have stayed away from the court proceedings, saying they only wanted to focus on building a long-denied relationship with their daughter.
