from www.oregonlive.com – A 24-year-old Portland woman is accused of sexually abusing a 1-year-old child she babysat, videotaping the activity and sending the videos by e-mail to her boyfriend serving in the U.S. Marine Corps overseas.
Inez Carmaneesh Mon Lambert, who police say worked as a day-care provider for the Lloyd Center LA Fitness on Northeast Weidler Street, was arraigned Wednesday morning on a 21-count felony indictment. She’s charged with seven counts each of first-degree sodomy, first-degree sex abuse and using a child in the display of sexually-explicit conduct and is being held on $5.25 million bail.
Her boyfriend, Corey H. McADoo, 31, was arrested in Afghanistan where he’s serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the federal law enforcement agency charged with investigating felony-level offenses affecting the Navy and Marine Corps, made the arrest. He’s expected to be returned to the United States later this month on possession of child pornography allegations.
On Jan. 8, a friend of Lambert’s reported the abuse to the child abuse tipline after Lambert was at her house using her laptop, and forgot to log out of her e-mail account. The friend looked through Lambert’s e-mails and opened three videos that captured the sexual abuse, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
The friend forwarded the videos to investigators. Portland child abuse Detective John Russell interviewed Lambert, who admitted videotaping the activity at her Northeast Portland home and sending them to her boyfriend “for his sexual pleasure,” the affidavit said.
“Detectives are concerned about the possibility of additional victims outside of her employment,” said Lt. Kelli Sheffer, Portland police spokeswoman. “Anyone who may have contracted or paid Lambert for private child care and has concerns is asked to contact police.”
Investigators do not think Lambert was involved in child abuse at the fitness center, because there were supervisors present when she worked there, Sheffer said. “They’re cooperating with the investigation,” Sheffer said.
Lambert told court officials that she worked 20 hours a week as a “receptionist” at a gym, and also collects $157 a month in food stamps.
