A 42-year-old Houston mother is accused of recording her 11-year-old daughter getting out of the shower.
According to court documents, the investigation started with a Cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on November 13, 2024. It came from the messaging app KIK, which flagged 46 images and videos that looked like child pornography on August 7, 2024.

That digital trail led police to the woman’s apartment in Houston. Investigators with the Houston Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit traced the IP address back to her home. Comcast, the internet provider, confirmed it was her account.
Police executed a search warrant at the woman’s home on April 24, 2025. She did agree to speak with officers, but refused to share the passcode to her phone.
Four days later, digital forensics experts examined her iPhone and found several disturbing images and a video involving her daughter. One of the photos reportedly showed the child in a compromising position with her.
