A Lincoln County mother who pleaded guilty in connection to the death of her son was sentenced to 15 years in prison in the case Friday.

Jessica Noble pleaded guilty back in July to second-degree criminal abuse and second-degree manslaughter in the death of her four-year-old son, Nathaniel Knox. Investigators say Noble took the boy to the UK Hospital emergency room after the coroner says he suffered blunt force trauma to the head. Nathaniel died five days later.

Noble's boyfriend, Jason Napier, is also facing charges in the case. He's due in court next February.
