Los Angeles Woman Arrested in Child Porn Case
In what has become a high-profile case locally, a 52-year-old North Hills woman has been arrested in connection with an 11-year-old Southern California child pornography and molestation case. CBS Los Angeles reports that the woman was arrested 10 hours after federal investigators asked for the public’s help to identify two suspects – the woman and another man, who still remains at large. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials received five separate community tips that led to the woman’s arrest.
The public plea was put out after federal agents discovered a series of pornographic images depicting the man and woman sexually molesting a girl who appears to be 13 years of age. The woman has been charged in a federal complaint with one count of production of child pornography. If convicted, she faces 15 years in prison. The woman’s son has spoken out, saying his mother was not involved in child pornography and that the girl in the video was 18 years of age or older at the time.
