BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) – A 30-year-old secretary who believed she was in a “fantasy relationship” with her daughter’s 8-year-old playmate admitted having repeated sexual contact with the boy and accepted a plea deal Monday that likely will send her to prison for six years.

Tammy Imre pleaded guilty to two counts of risk of injury to a minor, a reduced charge that the boy’s family accepted to spare both children time on the witness stand.

Imre was arrested last November on sexual assault charges after the boy’s mother found a letter that Imre wrote.

In the letter, police said Imre told the boy that she doesn’t “want anyone but you. Now tomorrow it’s supposed to rain, you can come over we can (you know what). Love ya! I want you!”

Imre admitted engaging in sexual acts with the boy but said the kissing and fondling stopped short of sexual intercourse. The two were in bed together naked at least once, she admitted Monday.

Imre, who appeared in court wearing a baggy gray sweat shirt, blue jeans and shackles, quietly changed her plea to guilty and admitted the facts in the case. Her mother and brother were in court.
