BURLINGTON, IOWA (AP) -- A 19-year-old woman accused in a sex case involving two boys has pleaded guilty to two counts of lascivious acts with a child.
   
Kourtney Babcock, of Yarmouth, pleaded guilty on Monday. She had been charged with three counts of third-degree sexual abuse.
   
Babcock is accused of having sexual contact with the two boys, ages 12 and 13, at a house in Mediapolis. The investigation began last summer. Babcock told detectives she didn't remember what happened because she was under the influence of prescription drugs and alcohol.
   
Prosecutors say they'll ask for consecutive 10-year prison terms. Babcock's attorney, Michael Clark, says he will contest that. He's expected to ask the judge for a deferred judgment and probation.
   
Sentencing is set for April 12.
