Tuscaloosa Woman Arrested For Producing Child Sexual Material
Yet another case of child exploitation has allegedly occurred in West Alabama. 20-year-old Cordajia Ra'Chelle Harris of Tuscaloosa was taken into custody and charged with four counts of production of obscene material of a person under 18 and four counts of disseminating obscene material.
Harris was arrested Wednesday and taken to the Tuscaloosa County Jail in downtown Tuscaloosa. The warrants for her arrest detail allegations that Harris knowingly filmed and distributed videos of a 17-year-old juvenile engaged in sexual activity. One complaint alleges that Harris sent the video to the victim's mother, further compounding the charges against her.
According to the arresting documents, Harris is accused of filming and disseminating explicit content involving a juvenile between July 1 and Sept. 30 of this year. The charges include producing and publicly displaying obscene material.
According to Alabama state law, production of obscene material of a child under 18 is a Class A felony punishable by 10 years to life in prison. Dissemination of child sexual abuse material is a Class B felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison.
After being booked in the jail, bond was set at $30,000 which she was able to make and was released.
This is one of a series of arrests made across West Alabama this year involving child sexual exploitation, including sting operations at local motels.
