Mom accused of using 3-year-old daughter to make child porn

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- (WTKR) -- An Ohio mother accused of sexually abusing her 3-year-old daughter faces multiple felony charges.

Kayla Parker, 26, has been charged with sexual abuse and exploitation of children, endangering the welfare of a child and indecent assault.

Parker, of Dayton, has been extradited to Pennsylvania, where she – along with her ex-boyfriend, David Carbonaro – allegedly made the recordings roughly four years ago, according to a new release from Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

“This is an egregious case – a mother who preyed upon and sexually abused her own 3-year-old daughter,” Shapiro said.

Authorities arrested Carbonaro in July. He has been charged with possession, production and distribution of child pornography.

Investigators say Carbonaro identified Parker, who law enforcement recently arrested in Ohio.

According to the prosecutor's office, Parker told investigators that, on multiple occasions, she took her daughter's clothes off and left her in a bedroom alone with Carbonaro, but claimed not to have seen any abuse, according to WJAC. After about a year together, Parker said they separated and she lost all contact with Carbonaro.

Parker's trial is set for Oct. 26. She is being held on $1 million bail.
