A woman in St. Petersburg, Florida, has been arrested and charged with 41 counts related to the alleged exploitation and abuse of her 11-year-old daughter.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, the woman was taken into custody after investigators traced illicit materials to a 38-year-old man who had been communicating with her online, Linda Ikeji reports.
Gualtieri, in a video statement posted on Facebook, said the woman allegedly created and shared at least 14 illegal videos involving her child.
He described the case as “one of the most disturbing instances of child abuse” his office has encountered, noting that the investigation remains ongoing to determine whether the material was distributed further or if financial exchanges were involved.
The victim is now in her father’s care under the supervision of Florida’s Department of Children and Families.
The suspect appeared in court on Tuesday, where a judge ordered her to have no contact with the victim. She remains in custody at the Pinellas County Jail.
“The things that the mother did to the daughter are graphic, and they are grotesque.
“These cases are the worst cases of child abuse and in this case, it’s not just s£xually abusing a child, it’s gross s£xual abuse of a young girl by her mother to satisfy an adult with a perverse craving for watching kids engaged in s£x acts,” Gualtieri said.
In 2024, the Bayelsa State Police Command arrested a 24-year-old suspect in connection with the circulation of a viral nude video of a young girl on social media.
The command’s spokesperson, Asinim Butswat, confirmed the arrest in a statement, saying the suspect, identified as Godgift Bai, from Ogbolomabiri, Nembe Local Government Area, was apprehended in Yenagoa on September 3, 2024.
