A couple from North Carolina has been arrested for the production of disturbing child abuse material as part of a sting operation.
Carmen Delia Foley, 31, and Darryl Edwin Foley, 34, are now facing multiple charges related to child sex crimes involving underage victims as young as 12 months to 12 years old.
According to WRAL News, Darryl was apprehended in January and is currently facing ten counts of second-degree exploitation of a minor.
The arrest warrant revealed that the victims included children aged between one and twelve years old. Darryl has already been indicted for these crimes.
On Thursday, Carmen was also taken into custody and charged with three counts of first-degree exploitation of a minor and two counts of statutory sex offense with a child by an adult.
Search warrants indicate that in September 2023, investigators identified three videos containing child pornography linked to an IP address registered under Darryl’s name.
This evidence provided sufficient grounds for law enforcement to search the home shared by the Foleys.
During this search, investigators discovered files on devices belonging to the Foleys which depicted both Darryl and Carmen engaging in sexual acts with a girl below the age of five, according to information obtained from the search warrants.
Carmen is currently being held on a $3-million bond while Darryl’s bond stands at $450,000.
During Operation Winter Guardian, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and Garner Police Department conducted a joint investigation to uncover child pornography, per the news reports from WYFF Channel 4 news.
Officials described the operation as taking place during the week of Jan. 8-12, when undercover law enforcement investigators went online and participated in chats with people trying to meet juveniles for sexual activity.
Some of those people then traveled to Gaston County to meet the person they believed to be a child to engage in those sex acts.
The second phase of the operation involved investigators executing search warrants at several locations throughout the state that were identified as distribution points where child sexual exploitation images were shared.
“In a time when we are seeing a record number of CyberTip reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, it is imperative that we continue to conduct proactive investigations like these,” NCICAC Commander and SBI Special Agent in Charge Kevin Roughton said. “The cases in this operation had not been reported to anyone. Without the joint effort of our local and federal partner agencies, these offenders could still be engaging in the same criminal acts today, but even more importantly, the children who were safeguarded would likely continue to be victimized again and again without anyone knowing and no one coming to help them.”
As a direct outcome of these investigations, a minimum of five children have been identified and safeguarded from any additional harm.
start making these crimes subject to the death penalty. they will never be “cured” and children will always be in danger by them.
Wait, Joe Biden and the Democrats APPROVE of adults sexually molesting and even mutilating little children. These perverts are being persecuted because they are black. Not to worry, our corrupt criminal-oriented justice system will have them released, so that more children can be sexually molested ASAP..
These people should be executed immediately. They are not entijudgetled to any “process” other than execution. These are sick people and cannot be cured.
How the hell can a judge set bail for these animals??? The judge should go to jail for doing so.
Since our criminal justice system is totally broken with liberal judges and prosecutors, it is up to us to serve justice for animals like these.
I can promise you that if anyone ever touches a hair on one of my children or grandchildren, the “justice system” won’t be burdoned with dealing with them.
Amen Brother !
I’m right there with you John W., My finger is itching to pull the trigger on any of those subhuman child molesting POS garbage.
I have 2 small grandchildren 2 years old and 3 years old, and I’m very protective of them.
Vigilantes is what’s needed now, especially where there’s Communist bought and paid for George Soros DA’S, Judges, Mayor’s and Governors since they’ll just set them free.
Here in Texas, they won’t live long enough waiting on the Police.
Would encourage a follow-up to this story. There is more to this than these two criminals. The obvious question is where did these children come from? Where are their parents or guardians? There are other people who let these children down who need to be held accountable.
“Safe guarded from any additional harm” ??? ….. These little children’s lives have already been destroyed. Their dignity stolen. Woe to those that abuse God’s innocent!
Scott Adams was right!
they probably won’t spend as much time in jail as the Jan 6th folks who are Not getting the constitutional “speedy trial”, thanks to biden’s DOJ
People like this should be fed into an industrial plastic shredder.
You betcha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reality is that she won’t be because it would help Trump. We know how much the left hates him.
Seems like justice is not always served.
