One arrest in Facebook childporn scandal

A York City woman and a mother of four charged with child pornography told police she posted a video depicting the sexual assault of a very young girl on Facebook to alert parents of "pervs" out there, according to charging documents.

However, a West York Police patrolman said Tabitha Mae Munoz-Martinez, 26, should have called police instead of distributing the video online.

West York Police were alerted to the video after a borough resident found it on Munoz-Martinez's Facebook page, which is under the name of Tabbi Luvinmykids Babyluv, about 11 p.m. Monday and called police.

About two hours after the video was discovered, police questioned Munoz-Martinez. She told Mendez she found the video on her news feed, which shows what friends post on the social networking site, and thought about calling police after viewing it, documents state.

Instead, she downloaded the video and posted it on her Facebook page along with a comment stating how disgusting it is. Several other people also commented on the video, police said.

Munoz-Martinez told police she posted the video "to make parents aware of the 'pervs' that are out there" but then deleted it, documents state.

She also told police she saw the video on Facebook pages belonging to several other people, but officers were unable to locate it.


Anyone know why facebook has not announced that the people who shared the video and "liked" the video had their accounts suspended and have been referred to law enforcement? The only reason this woman was arrested was someone on her feed called the cops, and they saw the video before facebook deleted it.

Did facebook delete the evidence of a crime? Is commenting on a child porn clip by saying "thats disgusting", which then shows up in all your other friends feeds sharing child porn? I think there should be zero tolerance for child porn and if you find it on facebook step away from the keyboard and call the cops.
