MARTINEZ — An Oakley woman pleaded no contest Friday to sexually abusing three boys in her area, and will serve a state prison sentence of seven years and eight months, court records show.

Jennifer Decarlo, 35, pleaded no contest to five charges, including committing a lewd act with a minor and unlawful sex with a minor, as part of the deal with Contra Costa prosecutors. She remains in jail awaiting transfer to the state prison system.

Decarlo was arrested in July 2022 on a $1.16 million warrant. The District Attorney’s office filed 21 charges, including allegations of sexually abusing boys younger than 14 and younger than 16, authorities said at the time. Police haven’t said how she met the victims.

Decarlo will receive credit for time served in jail awaiting trial. She will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life, court records show.
