(AP) — An Omaha day care owner accused of failing to report child abuse has pleaded no contest.
Jennifer Schmaderer, owner of Grow with Me Day Care, entered the plea Thursday.
Schmaderer is accused of failing to report the actions of Sarah Cullen, a former employee at the day care. Cullen was found guilty in March of child abuse resulting in death. A child under her care in late February 2013 died after suffering a fractured skull and massive bleeding.
Prosecutors in court presented incidents where questionable actions by Cullen at the day care were not reported by Schmaderer.
The no contest plea means Schmaderer does not admit guilt, but concedes there’s enough evidence to convict her. She will be sentenced on July 24.
