(TERRE HAUTE) - A western Indiana woman has pleaded guilty to neglect and other charges in the 2016 death of her disabled 5-year-old daughter.
Twenty-nine-year-old Tiffany Daugherty faces up to 21 years when she's sentenced Sept. 21. She pleaded guilty Tuesday to neglect, theft and reckless homicide in of Adilynn Moseman's death.
The Tribune-Star reports that Daugherty and the girl's father, Brian Moseman, were arrested last year in her death. Brian Moseman's trial is set for Sept. 10.
Authorities say the couple failed to provide adequate nutrition and follow-up medical care for their daughter, who had microcephaly.
An Indiana child-welfare services manager testified Tuesday that Daugherty didn't adequately feed her daughter and stopped taking her to medical appointments.
Adilynn Moseman died in January 2016. An autopsy found she died from malnutrition and bronchopneumonia.
