Woman arrested here now charged for child pornography

GEORGETOWN, S.C. — A woman who was spotted on Georgetown County beach taking nude photos of a child in September has been charged.
Teresa Brown, 49, of Boiling Springs, S.C., was charged Tuesday with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.
The charges were levied after police found child pornography on her computer, the newspaper reports.
In September, Brown was arrested by Georgetown County deputies after receiving a call from a beachgoer who said she was on the beach in North Litchfield when she saw Brown taking pictures of the girl while the child’s shorts were pulled down.
Brown was identified as the girl’s guardian.
According to the report, the caller said she saw Brown “place the child in more provocative positions and take pictures.”
The responding officer says he used binoculars and saw Brown “take a picture of the child with her buttocks in the air bending over a small chair.”
The deputy wrote the pose “was a very adult image.”
He said he watched as the little girl “pulled her bottoms down in the surf and the female began taking pictures of her.”
After a second officer arrived, they walked up to Brown who offered to let them look at the pictures she had taken.
Brown told the officers she is in a photography class and the child is a “super model.”
As the officer looked through the pictures in the camera, he saw one where the child is bending forward allowing parts of her privates to show.
She was out of jail under a $10,000 bond when she was charged in the Upstate.
