DENVER—A woman has pleaded guilty to a charge of accessory to fatal child abuse in the 2011 death her 10-month-old son.

Twenty-five-year-old Amanda Lujan entered her plea Thursday. Her sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 6.

Prosecutors say she lied about what happened when her 10-month-old son Adam Gonzales died in August 2011.

Another woman, 24-year-old Frances Garcia, pleaded guilty earlier this month to child abuse negligently causing death. Prosecutors allege she wrapped the baby in a blanket, placed him in a closet with a propped-up bottle and covered his face with a blanket to muffle his crying during the night.

Her sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 1.

It wasn’t immediately clear what sentences the women face.
