A 47-year-old Slidell woman faces charges after allegedly recording herself sexually abusing children and sharing the videos with a Mississippi man.
Lacy Amedio of Slidell, Louisiana, is accused of recording herself sexually abusing two children, including a toddler, and sharing the videos with a man in Mississippi. The Louisiana Attorney General's office announced the charges on Tuesday. Amedio, 47, faces two counts of first-degree rape that could result in lifetime prison sentences, along with a host of other charges.
A joint investigation by the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, Slidell Police, the Scott County Sheriff's Office in Mississippi, and Mississippi's Attorney General's office uncovered the crimes. The investigation began following a private citizen's tip that Amedio was producing and sharing child pornography from St. Tammany Parish.
Authorities say Amedio sexually abused the children and recorded incidents that she electronically distributed to the Mississippi man, identified as Monk, at his request. Amedio was arrested on Friday, 23 October, and Monk was taken into custody on Monday. Amedio's bond was set at two million dollars, while Monk's bond information remains pending. The investigation is ongoing.
