Hannah Nicole Edwards, 32, faces a federal charge of sexual exploitation of children.
Edwards is accused of taking nude photos of a 1-year-old boy at her Fort Worth home.
On Feb. 6, an undercover officer who was utilizing the Kik Messenger application was in a group described only as “Group A” when he was contacted by someone identified with a screen name of “Jessa H.”
During their conversation, “Jessa H” described graphic sexual abuse she said she committed against two children and shared a file of child pornography. One image depicted a 1-year-old boy who was not wearing any clothes.
Through the investigation, federal authorities later identified “Jessa H” as Hannah Nicole Edwards of Fort Worth.
On Sunday, FBI agents armed with a search warrant went to Edwards’ home and seized multiple items including her iPhone.
During an interview with FBI agents, according to the complaint, Edwards said she used Kik Messenger to communicate with other users about the sexual assault of children and to receive and distribute child pornography.
She admitted to FBI agents that she sent the child porn photos she had taken to multiple users on the Kik Messenger instant-messaging app, according to the criminal complaint.
