A Hot Springs woman was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison after she was found guilty of multiple child-exploitation charges, officials said.
Amanda Desaray Hartle, 34, pleaded guilty to five counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child, one count of fourth-degree sexual assault and one count of bestiality, Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s office said in a statement.
She was arrested in May 2013 at her residence in the 1200 block of Richard Street in Hot Springs after an investigation by the attorney general’s cyber crimes unit, the statement said.
A laptop and other electronic evidence was collected by investigators.
John David Ross, 40, of Hot Springs was also arrested on similar charges. He was sentenced to 180 years in prison in October by a Garland County jury.
In addition to Hartle’s prison sentence, she will also have to register as a sex offender.
