A former school teacher is now facing up to 41 years in prison after giving her students cupcakes laced with her ex-husband's sperm.
Cynthia Perkins had originally claimed she was not guilty of the crime, but has now changed her plea to guilty.
The woman was a teacher in Livingston, Louisiana, and also admitted to several other sex crimes, according to local news reports.
And she did so alongside her now ex-husband Dennis, who is a former high-ranking SWAT police officer.
She has pleaded guilty to one count of producing child pornography, one of second degree rape and one of mingling harmful substances.
The latter charge involved her using Dennis' bodily fluids to "season" pastries she then provided to students at Westside Junior High School.

She had been due to face trial by jury on Monday, but made the plea deal shortly before the jury was selected.
Ms Perkins could have originally faced 72 years in prison, but will now face 41 years instead, and will also testify against her ex-husband in a future court case.
The couple initially faced 150 felony charges including rape, child pornography, sexual battery of a child and video voyeurism.
Charges involving a dog were also mentioned early in the case.

Attorney general Jeff Landry said: “Today, Cynthia Perkins admitted to her crimes and plead guilty in court.
"She not only waived any right to appeal, and attempt to avoid conviction, but she also spared the victims from reliving her horrific crimes during this particular trial.
“Conviction is in the best interest of our victims and justice.”
Cynthia was given 40 years for second degree rape, and 30 years concurrent for involving a juvenile under 13.
She was also given a one year sentence for the sperm-laced cupcakes incident.
She resigned from her role at the school after her initial arrest in 2019.
