Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Cali said Edwards could face five to 15 years in prison if she does not carry out her part of the deal. Cali said the prosecution was interested in pursuing sexual assault charges against any men who had sex with the victim at Edwards' home. Authorities said the 16-year-old victim had stayed voluntarily at Edwards' home one night in December. When she tried to leave the next day, Edwards would not let her go for a couple of days, telling her she had to have sex with men to settle the debt owed for spending the night, police reported. In pleading guilty, Edwards admitted being present when several men had sex with the girl in her home.
