Christina Cortez,
38, of Corpus Christi, is charged with making the sexually
explicit images and sending them to Matthew Harbin, 29, of
Brownsville, who faces similar charges, federal prosecutors
said. Cortez made her initial appearance before a magistrate on
Wednesday.
The crime was uncovered when Harbin sent the images to an
undercover officer in England, using the e-mail address
"dirtysickmind@yahoo.com," said U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson.
Harbin told the undercover officer he had more photos, and later
sent five more pictures of the same little girl in more graphic
poses.
Magidson said Cortez told Harbin that she wanted to engage in
sexual activity with children.
Magidson says Harbin also is in custody. The day care center was
not identified, and officials did not say how old the child was.
