A Cincinnati babysitter and former foster care mom pleaded guilty to rαping children in court on Friday.

As part of a plea deal, Barbara Brooks, 63, admitted that she’d rαped young children who she’d babysat at her home.

According to authorities, Brooks pleaded guilty to rαping children aged 7 to 16 years old in her home between January 2000 and Feb. 27, 2007.

Brooks, 63, was charged with 15 counts of rαpe and three counts of gross sεxual imposition and pleaded guilty to four counts of rαpe. She was sentenced to seven years under the plea deal, but will only serve five since she is being credited with time already served.

If Brooks had not been given a plea deal, she could’ve been sentenced to life in prison.

Once she is released from prison, Brooks will be classified as a sεx offender.

According to Hamilton County Job and Family Services, Brooks was a foster parent from 1996 to 2008.

Brooks was arrested in 2012 after someone who knew the victims tipped off police that the children had been abυsed by Brooks.

Cincinnati Detective Dana Jones says she has been contacted by several victims in other states.

“Although we have several victims on paper, following her arrest the case grew and was much bigger,” Jones said in court.

“Some of the victims consider Mrs. Brooks family, so for them the trauma was deeper than the act,” Jones added. “The traυma that they suffered is unlike anything I have ever seen.”

Brooks was removed from the list of foster parents after a sεxual abυse investigation was opened.
