Spanish police detain woman who sold naked pictures of daughters

Spanish police said Wednesday they had arrested
a 41-year-old woman who for years sold naked
images of her three underage daughters over the
Internet.
Police began their investigation in
September after her oldest daughter,
aged 15, and her former partner filed a
complaint at a police station in the
southwestern province of Seville, police
said in a statement.
The girl said her mother took pictures
and made videos of her and her two
sisters, aged 7 and 8, in suggestive poses,
including with a pacifier in their mouth
and wearing braids.
Another eight-year-old girl, the niece of
the woman’s former partner, also
appeared in the images made and sold
by the woman.
“At first the mother told them that the
images were for fashion castings and the
pictures of them nude and in their
underwear were needed to show their
size,” police said in a statement.
But over time the woman’s oldest
daughters realised that the images were
sold to men over a dating website.
“The mother then told them they needed
money to eat and there were men who
paid money for these images. The minor
also told officers that she and her sisters
were repeatedly beaten with a stick by
her mother if they refused to take
photographs.”
Police said the 15-year-old girl was sent
to meet with the men who bought the
images to collect the money.
The girl gave police a mobile telephone
and a computer belonging to her mother
that had images of her and her sisters
naked.
Police arrested the woman on October
15. They also arrested one of buyers of
the images, a 49-year-old man, seven
days later.
The woman has been ordered to stay
away from her daughters and the niece
of her former partner while the
investigation continues.
