America's first ever elected transgender lawmaker has been charged with horrific child sex offenses after allegedly getting her daycare worker to send her explicit photos of toddlers in her care.
Stacie Marine Laughton, 39, could face up to 30 years in jail after being charged with aiding and abetting the sexual exploitation of children.
The former New Hampshire state representative was arrested after daycare worker Lindsay Groves, 38, was accused of taking explicit photographs of children aged between three to five years old in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts.
Groves was reportedly in a relationship with Laughton, and the two had discussed the sexual photographs of children in more than 10,000 messages.
Department of Justice documents show several sickening conversations between the pair, who fantasized about sexually assaulting young children. Their alleged conversations were detailed in full in charging documents, but are too horrific to reproduce.
The former couple shared warped fantasies about sexual acts they wanted to perform on the children and discussed them in graphic detail, it is alleged.
Quote:
According to documents Laughton told Groves to touch a child's genitals, so she took a picture and sent it to her for 'sexual gratification'.
She 'allegedly used natural bathroom breaks for the children,' such as 'routine diaper pull-up changes prior to naptime ... to take multiple photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom.'
Groves, a former employee at Creative Minds Early Learning Center was charged last month with sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography.
She is accused of taking naked pictures of the three- to five-year-old children and disseminating them, according to charging documents.
The charge of sexual exploitation of children can lead to a sentence of up to 30 years in prison.
There's no rehabilitation for people like this, so it should carry a mandatory death sentence.Quote:
Laughton has blamed her past criminal behavior on mental illness and untreated conditions.
