Valencia Person pleaded guilty in Washington's federal court on Friday to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Jones pleaded guilty in January and is awaiting sentencing. Person faces up to five years in prison, but sentencing guidelines call for a sentence of between two to two and a half years.

Sentencing is set for June 8. Person's lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday.
