NJ Babysitter Sentenced for Making, Streaming Child Porn

Jennifer Mahoney of Manalapan previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to sexual exploitation of a child

A central New Jersey woman who sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl she was babysitting and put a video of the assault on the Internet has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.

Thirty-three-year-old Jennifer Mahoney of Manalapan also will be under lifetime supervised release once she's freed from prison. She had pleaded guilty in May to sexual exploitation of a child and was sentenced Tuesday.

Mahoney admitted to sexually assaulting the girl and streaming the assault live over a video chat service. She also admitted to abusing the girl on another occasion, recording the abuse on a camera phone and emailing the video to at least one other person.

She also admitted to viewing other videos of child sexual abuse streamed to her using a video chat service.
