Alabama Child Porn Case

(Phil Campbell, Alabama) A 40-year-old local woman, Rebecca Diane Pounders, has been accused of sending nude photos of a 15-year-old girl to an 18-year-old male to entice him into having sex with the girl.

Pounders faces charges of dissemination of child pornography, aiding a person traveling to meet a child for a unlawful sex act and aiding and abetting attempted second-degree rape.

Authorities said Justin Ray Sorensen, 18, of Grayville, has been indicted for possession of obscene child pornography, traveling to meet a child for an unlawful sex act, second-degree sexual abuse and second-degree attempted rape.

Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver said the two were arrested in October 2011.

“This was a very unusual case,” Oliver said. “It’s sad to think that something like this goes on.”

The Phil Campbell Police Department assisted the sheriff’s office with the investigation.

Investigators said Pounders is accused of sending at least two nude photos of the 15-year-old girl to Sorensen at his home, which is outside of Birmingham in Jefferson County.

Officials said she is accused of sending the photos in hopes of getting Sorensen to have sex with the girl.

Authorities said child pornography was found on Sorensen’s computer.

Pounders and Sorensen each were booked and released on $250,000 bond.
