A young woman working in early childhood education pleaded guilty to possessing nearly 400 videos containing child exploitation material, including the most extreme category involving infants and bestiality.

The 22-year-old, who worked as an untrained teacher in childcare centres across Bay of Plenty, was arrested following an FBI investigation that traced her encrypted conversations on Telegram and Wire.

She admitted to police she had “a serious addiction to disgusting things.”

Parents were informed after her arrest, and the childcare centre reassured them of strict oversight measures.

She remains unnamed under interim name suppression as sentencing approaches.

  1. Part and parcel of a society that’s turned its back on God (and sarcastically mocks those who haven’t as backward)

    Enjoy your downward spiral into depravity.

  2. “And the childcare center reassured them of strict oversight measures’.
    By that I hope you mean monitored surveillance cameras set up to cover every inch of each center and readily available to show parents if asked.

    • Trust nobody, check everything, every child should learn this on their parents knee, there is no time for innocence once your child is not supervised 24/7 by their parants.
