A Meadville woman is jailed on multiple charges for her alleged involvement in sexually abusing two young girls and a young boy.

Jo-Ann E. Bronson, 30, was charged by Meadville Police Department with two counts each of indecent assault on a person younger than age 13, endangering the welfare of children, disseminating sexually explicit material, corruption of minors and more.

Police allege the abuse took place between September 2014 and September 2018. When the alleged abuse began, the girls were ages 2 and 6 and the boy was age 4, according to court documents.

Bronson was arraigned on the charges Tuesday before Magisterial District Judge Samuel Pendolino. She was placed in the Crawford County jail in lieu of $40,000 bond. She faces a preliminary hearing on the charges April 6.

If convicted on all charges, Bronson could face up to 67 years in jail and $140,000 in fines.

Earlier this month, Adam Wagner, 31, a co-defendant in the case, pleaded no contest in Crawford County Court of Common Pleas to multiple charges.

Wagner, 31, entered no contest pleas to a total of 11 charges, including three counts of rape of a child.

In pleading no contest, a person does not admit guilt but agrees there is enough evidence to convict if a trial were held.

Wagner faces up to 221 years in prison when he is sentenced April 29 in county court. Wagner remains lodged in the Crawford County jail in lieu of $75,000 bond where he has been held since his arrest last March.
