A primary school teacher has been accused of recording herself sexually abusing her child – and sending the footage to her then-boyfriend. Audra Mabel, 34, was teacher kindergarten in Michigan when she allegedly sent sexually explicit videos to Justin Ritchie.
She is now facing child pornography charges after police found the videos on his computer.
Authorities seized the laptop after Ritchie was accused of sexually assaulting his daughter, according to criminal complaints filed by the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Mabel is accused of sending Ritche 11 explicit videos of herself – including one which allegedly shows her using her one-year-old son ‘to engage in or assist her to engage in sexually explicit conduct’.
In another video, Mabel exposes herself to the camera, then turns the camera to reveal what appears to be a classroom full of students, the Detroit Free Press reports.
The criminal complaint adds that she sent the videos and photos to Ritchie because they “sometimes incorporated role-play and fantasies of child sex abuse into their sexual relations.”
Ritchie has been charged with sexual battery on a child under 12. He has been booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. He is scheduled to appear before the courts April 23.
Mabel has been charged with producing and distributing child pornography.
