A Forest woman changed her plea, avoiding a trial on a 34-count indictment.

23-year-old Savanah L. McKinley was facing 17 counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and 17 counts of pandering obscenity.

A $5,000 own-recognizance bond was reinstated after she pleaded guilty to 7 counts of pandering obscenity, all fifth-degree felonies, on Tuesday in Hardin County Common Pleas Court.

McKinley’s trial, which was scheduled for April 7, was cancelled.

She could be sentenced to up to 7 years in prison.

The sentencing and sex offender classification hearing was set for May 6.
