A Greensburg woman said “guilty” 35 times in court Friday when a judge asked how she was pleading in the 2018 rape of a 5-year-old boy.

Corby Jo Kinzey, 28, entered a general plea to all of the charges against her and could face decades in prison when she is sentenced in a few months.

“You’re asking me to decide what your sentence will be, you understand that?” Judge Christopher Feliciani asked Kinzey.

“Yes,” she responded.

Kinzey and two others were arrested in connection with the incident in 2018. She testified during an April trial for Charles J. Hunter, 35, that Hunter took four videos of her engaged in sex acts with the boy.

She pleaded guilty to charges of rape of a child, child pornography and related offenses. An initial review after her arrest found Kinzey was not competent to stand trial. A judge determined, after reading a doctor’s report, in September 2019 that she was able to assist with her defense.

Hunter was convicted of 22 counts connected to his involvement in the case. His sentencing is set for July 15.

Kinzey admitted to her involvement in court Friday. She will undergo a sex offender assessment in addition to a presentence investigation.

Amanda Smith, 32, of Greensburg, Hunter’s former girlfriend who initially received the video, is charged with two counts of dissemination of child pornography. Her case is still pending.
