Davis admitted to conspiring with Saczawa to sexually exploit the child, including telling Saczawa to perform oral sex on the victim.

Authorities added that Davis had previously been convicted in Texas of indecent contact with a child.

"There are truly no words to describe how grotesque the behavior in this case is," Acting Special Agent in Charge Terence G. Reilly said in a statement. "A woman admitting to using a prepubescent child to create child sexual assault material is beyond the bounds of any acceptable human behavior – and it always will be."

Saczawa and Davis are facing several decades of prison time. They are both scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 22.
