St. Petersburg Mother Indicted on 41 Counts Over Videos Forcing 11-Year-Old Into Sex Acts

Detectives are examining an online link to a 38-year-old suspect, with any payments under review.

Overview

  • Deputies arrested the mother after detaining a 38-year-old man who allegedly obtained child sexual abuse material she sent.
  • Authorities say at least 14 videos recorded between March and April show the child performing various sex acts, including bestiality.
  • A judge ordered the mother to have no contact with the girl, who remains in her father's custody with Department of Children and Families oversight.
  • Investigators executed search warrants on electronic devices as they assess how widely the files were distributed and whether money changed hands.
  • Officials are withholding identities to protect the child, and the sheriff noted a broader surge in local child‑pornography cases this year.
