Trial ordered for ex-porn producer Pauling - Appeal-Democrat: News
A former pornography producer molested a teen girl with increasing sexual contact for three years beginning when she was 13, according to witness testimony Thursday.
According to Sutter County sheriff's Detective Robert C. Brokenbrough, Pauling first made inappropriate comments to the first victim about her lips and bottom. The comments turned into sexual acts, and Pauling first had sex with the girl in the summer of 2014. She said he used a condom until he had a vasectomy.
Brokenbrough interviewed the teen girl three times, between Nov. 30 and Jan. 28.
The girl told him that Pauling bought her lingerie ? which detectives discovered in his bedroom ? and photographed her in erotic and sexualized poses. She said Pauling uploaded the photos to Reddit.com
Deputy District Attorney Anu Chopra submitted 10 photos of the girl into evidence. Some of the photos included the girl posing topless, exposing her bottom, and some included other minors.
The girl told detectives she felt that if she slept with him, that he would buy her things or let her go on trips.
Once, when taking a shower, she found a recording device in the vent, she said. She told the detective that when she asked Pauling about it, he said he wanted to know what her body looked like. She said they threw the device in the river.
