CHARLOTTE COUNTY: We got a hold of a confession from the woman accused of raping her 18-month-old daughter. She was the second person arrested in the investigation, and new documents show she admitted to performing sex acts with the infant.

It is a very heartbreaking and disturbing story. The baby's mother was arrested Thursday and in the affidavit, it reports that she confessed to raping her daughter.

The Charlotte Behavioral Health Care Center is where the young mother was arrested. The facility is for mental heath and substance abuse patients.

New documents show that the mother told deputies that she and her boyfriend Glenn Nelson had been performing sex acts on her child since she was born.

Then deputies reported that inside the mother's Port Charlotte apartment, they found pornographic pictures of the baby.

Once she got to the Charlotte County Jail, deputies say the mother became unruly. An incident report shows that corrections deputies had to use a taser on her because she tried to bite one of them.

Glenn Nelson's best friend said the divorced mother had a brain injury and that she just wanted revenge against Nelson because he broke up with her.

"If you find out about her- she's nuts, she's had a brain tumor and she's nuts," said the friend.

But reports show that Nelson confessed to performing sex acts on several occasions with his girlfriend's baby.

In a jailhouse interview on Wednesday, he denied raping the infant. He said he fantasized about it, but never acted on it.

We did put in a request at the jail to interview the mother, but she said no. Her reason was that she has a language disorder and was afraid she'd say the wrong thing.

The mother and Nelson both face charges of capital sexual battery, lewd and lascivious molestation and child pornography.

The mother is being held in jail on a $750,000 bond. Nelson has no bond.
