Chesapeake, Va. - Chesapeake mom Kanealeen Latouche has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for her involvement in a child pornography ring that included her own children.
Latouche pleaded guilty to 30 charges in federal court, including indecent liberties with a minor, production/possession/distribution of child pornography, forcible sodomy, and aggravated sexual battery.
She told a Chesapeake judge she apologized to society and everyone has hurt.
Court records show Latouche’s separated husband started snooping through her emails and found out she was making dirty videos with their toddlers, all for money.
Not long after that, federal agents indicted Shaniesta Banks, Nina Calderon, Sierra Halsey and Shavonna Whitfield who all pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.
Robert Scott Jr. was convicted for running the operation and using the Internet to reel in the cash-strapped moms. He was sentenced to life in prison on Monday.
They say he set up sex parties where these women would work as prostitutes. Instead of paying them, officials say he extorted the women by threatening to publish sexually explicit videos. He also conspired to and produced child porn with all five women.
Prosecutors say there were 7 child victims in total – the oldest being five, the youngest just one-year-old.
