We've told you about the "Bling Bandit" -- Crime Watch Daily now has latest chapter in the sordid life of Abigail Kemp.
She's beautiful, she's brazen, and now she's headed behind bars.
Crime Watch Daily has brand-new details of Kemp's deal with the government: in the plea agreement, Kemp admits to several counts, including conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery and using a firearm during a crime of violence.
She'll spend 10 years in a federal prison. She could have gotten life, but by ratting out her crew, prosecutors gave her a break.
Cops say Kemp terrorized a total of 13 victims during robberies across five states over a one-year period.
The feds say Kemp ripped off more than $4 million worth of jewelry at stores in five southern states: Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida.
Accomplice Larry Gilmore got 32 years. The other two co-conspirators will be sentenced at a later date.
Kemp and Gilmore will also have to pay nearly a million and a half dollars in restitution.
