Her lawyer says she was hoping to win a $20,000 in a mommy-daughter modeling contract.
The New York Daily News reports that Ann Lussier, 41, was “duped” by a man posing as a fashion photographer when she made her daughter pose in a bikini — and then nothing at all.
Police identified Joshua Dunfee, of Oxford Junction, Iowa, as the man behind the camera. He claimed to be in Florida, and said they wouldn’t be able to see him because his computer’s camera was broken. He was arrested and will be sent to Massachusetts to face federal pornography charges.
Court documents stated that “the parent had to show the man what both she and the Victim looked like with no clothes on, reportedly so he would see the shape of their bodies.”
ABC News reported that Lussier’s twin sister called police to report the incident after the 10-year-old’s mother called her to complain about how “uncooperative” her daughter had been. The aunt allegedly hear the girl crying in the background during the phone call.
Lussier was arrested on charges of child endangerment on Tuesday, but she and her lawyer, Ernest Solomon, insist they were fooled by a “pervert.”
“There are sickos out there, and they let them go. But I get locked up. I’m a victim,” Laussier said to the Attleboro Sun Chronicle.
Solomon said, “The intention the twin sister had was to report that someone, this pervert, was taking advantage of someone vulnerable and their goal was to get him.”
The mother was released on bail on the condition that she stay away from her children. Her lawyer did not comment on whether or not Lussier admitted to the circumstances in court. She is reportedly seeking professional help.
The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families is investigating the case.
