Feds Say Child Therapist Sent Videos of Babies Being Raped – Crime Online

Federal authorities last week arrested a New York woman for allegedly distributing sexually explicit videos of children under six months old.

Newsday reported Renee Hoberman, 36, is a child therapist at LifeStance Health in Melville. She was arrested on Wednesday for crimes she committed online while posing as a man. Hoberman has also reportedly been a youth counselor at the Amityville hospital since 2016.

Between June and October, Hoberman allegedly sent child sexual abuse videos and participated in online conversations about child abuse. According to the New York Daily News, Hoberman claimed online that he had raped children in front of other people by posing as a man and also invited other users to watch him spank them.

“Hoberman allegedly used social media messaging applications to upload digital videos depicting one or more minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including infants aged six to one, being physically restrained and raped by an adult male, and babies crying.” There are also several videos of babies aged 10 to 15 years old, screaming wildly throughout the videos, federal officials said.

Hoberman told federal agents that seeing children from infancy to age three being sexually abused made him sexually aroused, the New York Daily News reported.

On Wednesday, Hoberman pleaded not guilty to distributing child pornography. He remains jailed without bail.
