Jacksonville, FL — The woman arrested for the 1998 abduction of baby Kamiyah Mobley from a Jacksonville hospital has pleaded guilty.
Gloria Williams was scheduled to begin trial this week, but during a disposition hearing she withdrew her original not guilty plea and changed it to guilty.
Prosecutors say Williams pretended to be a hospital worker and took Kamiyah Mobley from University Hospital, raising her in South Carolina.
A judge will sentence Williams in early May. She faces 0-22 years in prison.
