A 33-year-old Pennsylvania woman who allegedly filmed the rape of a 7-year-old girl before showing the footage to another child has been arrested by police.
Presented before prosecutors, Ariel Hiestand was accused of a dozen charges in this horrific sexual assault perpetrated by fifty-year-old Edward L. Williams, also arrested last week.
The 30-year-old allegedly filmed the victim being sexually assaulted by the 54-year-old man, the Lebanon County prosecutor’s office said, according to Penn Live, cited by the “New York Post.”
The images of this abuse which lasted throughout the night of January 14 were shown by Hiestand to another child, said the prosecutor’s office, said the local newspaper, according to which the accused confessed to the facts with which she is accused .
“Hiestand then … admitted that the child had in fact revealed to her that she was being abused by Edward Williams and that she had told the victim that she had to allow him to abuse her again,” the Lebanon Daily News reported on Tuesday.
The thirty-year-old arrested Friday faces charges including child pornography, deviant sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault and endangering the well-being of a child, it was added.
