SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A federal grand jury today added more child pornography charges against a former teacher’s aide at a Syracuse elementary school and day care center.
Emily Oberst, 23, was indicted on seven more counts of sexual exploitation of a child for the purpose of making child pornography and three more counts of distributing child pornography.
Oberst, of Syracuse, and Jason Kopp, 40, of Liverpool, were indicted two months ago on charges of sexually exploiting three children to make child pornography. The victims were a 16-month-old girl, a 4-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy, according to a federal indictment.
The new indictment doesn’t include allegations involving any new victims.
The indictment filed in federal court today accuses Oberst of taking sexually explicit photos of the two girls 11 times between Nov. 6, 2014, and March 16, 2016. It also accuses her of distributing those pictures seven times over that same period.
