ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis County woman admitted to producing child pornography videos that involved a toddler on Thursday in federal court.
Raven Ainesis Pointer, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography.
According to her plea, Pointer admitted to using her phone to produce videos that involved a two-year-old child and contained child sexual abuse material.
In August 2023, Homeland Security agents learned that a man in Alabama was distributing child sexual abuse material. Agents learned he had also been communicating with a woman, later identified as Pointer.
Phone records later confirmed he received a video from Pointer that contained child sexual abuse materials. Investigators matched details in the videos to her and the location where the videos had been filmed.
Pointer is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 23, 2025. She could face anywhere from 15 to 30 years behind bars.
