An Ohio mother has been accused of making child pornography of her young daughter in Pennsylvania.
Kayla Parker, 26, of Dayton, was arrested on charges of sexual abuse, child exploitation, indecent assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Tuesday in a news release.
Authorities said the crimes took place about four years ago when Parker lived in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, with then-boyfriend David Carbonaro, The Associated Press reported. Her daughter reportedly was 3 years old at the time.
Investigators searched Carbonaro's Pennsylvania home on July 25 and found images and videos of a young girl "in various stages of undress," the news release said.
Parker, who was interviewed by Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents in Dayton on Sept. 18, said she never witnessed Carbonaro sexually abuse her daughter but was certain he was acting inappropriately with her, according to court documents.
Parker added that she moved back to Ohio about four years ago after living with Carbonaro for about a year, court documents said.
Carbonaro is awaiting trial in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the AP reported.
Parker was extradited to Pennsylvania, where her bail was set at 10 percent of $1 million, the news release said.
