NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. – A porn actress accused with her lover of killing a tattoo parlor owner after a sex party pleaded guilty on Monday to a reduced charge that will get her 40 years in prison.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Amanda Logue, 30, entered the plea in Pasco County. Logue, who performed in adult films under the name Sunny Dae, was originally charged with first-degree murder but was allowed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in a plea deal, according to the newspaper.
Dennis “Scooter” Abrahamsen of Tampa was found stabbed and bludgeoned to death on a massage table in his New Port Richey home in May 2010. Court records show that Logue had been paid to attend a sex party Abrahamsen hosted at his home the night before he was killed.
Florida investigators say Logue and her boyfriend, Jason Andrews, traded dozens of text messages in May about their plans to kill the man before he was bludgeoned him to death with a sledgehammer.

Authorities said that while Logue was inside "servicing" the 41-year-old Abrahamsen, Andrews waited outside, waiting for word to attack, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"I'm so glad you're really commited (sic) to this take. Keep eyes for a knife, etc for me!" Andrews said in a text message to Logue, according to records obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.
Logue texted back, saying she wanted to have sex with Andrews "after we kill" Abrahamsen, the Times reported.
"Just get him on his face either bash or tell me to get in and where to go," Andrews texted, according to the Tampa Bay Tribune.
Andrews, 28, pleaded guilty to a first-degree murder in January and agreed to spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole, the Times reported.
Logue is being held at the Pasco County Jail.
