Jennifer Mahoney MySpaceManalapan, N.J. (The Weekly Vice) - Jennifer Mahoney, a 32-year-old New Jersey woman has been jailed after she allegedly molested a 5-year-old girl while streaming the assault live on the Internet.
According to police, an investigation began last month when Texas authorities raided a man's home and discovered three videos on his computer that showed a woman engaged in sexual contact with a sleeping 5-year-old girl.
Detectives quickly identified the woman as Mahoney and learned that the little girl she had allegedly molested was a child she had been trusted to babysit.
Investigators say two of the videos show Mahoney laughing as she molested the girl with her hands. She is then seen licking the little girl's buttocks. Those videos were streamed live over the Internet using her Skype account.
The third video shows Mahoney abusing the child in a bathtub while filming it with her iPhone.
In that video, Mahoney is seen asking the girl to lean over so she can be rinsed. But instead of rinsing the girl, Mahoney can be seen inserting her fingers into the girl's vagina.
Although Mahoney was initially arrested on state charges in December, federal charges were filed on Thursday.
She was booked into Monmouth County Jail on two felony counts of exploitation of a child. She remains jailed in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Each charge of child sexual exploitation carries a mandatory penalty of 15 to 30 years in prison.
Mahoney's attorney states his client will plead not guilty at her next hearing which has been scheduled for Jan. 30.
