ST. LOUIS — A third person from St. Louis County pleaded guilty Wednesday to providing support to ISIS.

Sedina Unkic Hodzic, a 39-year-old St. Louis County woman, pleaded guilty to one count of providing material support to terrorists in federal court.

Her plea comes a month after her husband, 44-year-old Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, pleaded guilty to the same charge. A second man, Armin Harcevic, 41, pleaded guilty in February.

All three people from St. Louis County were arrested in 2015 and charged with supporting ISIS. Two others from outside the area were also arrested and charged in relation to the same investigation.

The FBI said Hodzic's husband solicited and collected money from the other people charged in the investigation, then sent more the $10,000 of cash and supplies to terrorists, including to a St. Louis man killed while fighting for ISIS.

She could face 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. Her sentencing was set for August 9.
