A woman took custody of an infant so she could make child porn and send it to users on the messaging app Kik, federal prosecutors said.

Stefani Kasey Marie Stevens, 31, of California, was found guilty on Nov. 1 of multiple counts related to the creation and distribution of child pornography, including one count of “obtaining custody of a minor with intent to produce child pornography,” according to a news release from the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
