Walker's husband, Dustin, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison last month.
Prosecutors say Cherie knew the abuse was happening and failed to protect her. The 11-year-old victim gave birth at home without receiving any medical care.
The victim's grandmother, Michelle Justus, is also charged with child neglect and will face trial later this month. Justus is scheduled for trial on July 23rd.
