Salt Lake City, UT (AHN) – A woman who helped her husband abduct a teenager in March 2002 and enslaved her for nine months pleaded guilty to kidnapping charges before a Salt Lake City court on Tuesday.

Wanda Eileen Barzee, 64, also agreed to a 15-year-sentence and to testify against her husband, Brian David Mitchell, for the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart when she was 14. Mitchell, a self-proclaimed prophet, took Smart to a remote camp and made her his bride.

Barzee helped Mitchell keep Smart chained. Smart was raped several times by Mitchell.
