Vicki Bevan was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 10 years at Liverpool Crown Court after admitting 36 sexual offences, having been seen laughing in the dock at a previous hearing.
Her offences include – one count of rape and five of assault by penetration against a child.
Bevan has also pleaded guilty to 17 counts of making an indecent image of a child, with two of these counts made up of 52 photos of penetrative sex.
She admitted two counts of possessing extreme pornography, relating to 100 ‘grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise obscene’ animal porn images.
The 37-year-old, from St Helens in Merseyside, appeared in court on Friday with two men – 62-year-old Paul Rafferty and Tony Hutton, aged 42.

Rafferty was jailed for 10 years, with four years extended licence, after he pleaded guilty to 10 sexual offences, including rape.
The horrific sexual abuse was filmed and photographed and images were shared between the group, along with twisted messages.
Hutton was handed a prison term of four years after admitting four sexual offences.
Ahead of Friday’s sentences, the judge in the case said “just when you think you have heard the worst, another one comes along”.
Recorder of Liverpool Andrew Menary QC said: “Of particular concern to the court is the fact that there are exchanges of messages which are shockingly depraved fantasies.
“And they did not remain as fantasies, some of these were played out in real life.”
Judge Menary said any “blame sharing” claim by Bevan in her defence, that she was “led on” by the others, would not be accepted.
At a previous hearing in March, Bevan laughed and smiled with the prison officers in the dock before wiping away tears with a white tissue when the judge came into court.
The girl who was abused, as a victim of sexual offences, cannot be identified.
The three defendants entered their guilty pleas in February.
