MIAMISBURG — FBI agents arrested a Miamisburg woman Tuesday morning accused of enticing a teenage boy to make child pornography.
Kendra L. Sasser, 30, of 28 S. Ninth St., was arrested at her home without incident, said J. Mark Batts, acting special agent in charge of the Cincinnati FBI office. FBI agents also executed a federal search warrant at the home, Batts said.
Sasser had been in contact with a 16-year-old boy in Yuma, Ariz. for several weeks, and the two had exchanged explicit photos, according to an affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Scott W. Warren.
According to the affidavit:
Sasser's husband Ron contacted the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office on Aug. 6 and said his wife was having sexually explicit communications with minor males over the Internet.
Ron Sasser had been monitoring his home computer systems since late July, when he installed software designed to capture and record keystrokes.
On Aug. 10, Kendra Sasser was chatting with the boy via MySpace.com. Sasser's MySpace page identifies her as "cagedcassandra," living in "Caged Animal, Ohio." Her avatar is an illustration of a buxom female behind bars wearing a bikini and chains.
During a chat session, Kendra Sasser said she had been disappointed to learn he was 16. When the boy responded "there's a certain point where age just don't mean (expletive) anymore," she responded "ummmm yea i know that lol."
The two were chatting online on Aug. 27 when Kendra Sasser sent the boy a picture of her face. The boy asked for more pictures.
"This last pic is 4 ur personal enjoyment *grinzz* you gotta make sure this last pic no one sees okay?" Kendra Sasser wrote. "You might wanna hide this one. You can't let parents see it or ur screwed srsly!"
Sasser then downloaded a picture of her genitals from her cellular phone, then sent it to the boy via email. The two then continued in sexually explicit conversation.
"It's weird because of the age difference and because you live on the other side of the country, that's what's weird," the boy wrote in the middle of the conversation.
"Ohhhhhhh now who is bringin up the age thing?" she responded."
On Sept. 4, she asked the boy for a picture of his genitals. The boy sent one and after Sasser asked for another, sent a second.
During their online chats, the two also discussed using XBOX Live video chat to give a "free show" to each other." The boy said he did not have the money.
On Sept. 11, Sasser bought a $40 gift card from a Gamestop store in Centerville, then mailed the card to the boy.
Gamestop determined the card was used Sept. 14 to purchase an XBOX Live Vision web camera from an EB Games store in Yuma.
The boy's MySpace profile identifies him as a 16-year-old boy. The FBI confirmed his age through the registrar at a Yuma high school, according to the affidavit.
Sasser is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, which carries a maximum punishment of 30 years in prison.
