Ohio Woman Accused of Child Porn Charges
[Previous 6/28/13 post]
(Springboro, Ohio) A 32-year-old local woman, Tanai Fortman, has been arrested after sexually explicit videos of a 4-year-old girl were found on her smartphone and tablet devices. Fortman's boyfriend discovered the sex videos and called police.

Fortman faces felony counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity oriented material and pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.

When asked about the videos, Fortman said she didn't remember them being made -- and blamed her memory lapse on a large intake of weight-loss pills that rendered her unconscious.

She said she was working for an "online sexting company" and she got a message requesting she send videos of her and the child, officers said.

"She stated that she was sick to her stomach when she saw the videos and would never hurt (the victim)," an officer wrote in Fortman's arrest report.

Fortman was booked into custody at the Warren County Jail with bond set at $75,000.
