Florida police say that a woman, her boyfriend, and her son sexually assaulted children and streamed the abuse live online for others to watch.
Investigators said a four-month-long investigation and an FBI raid at a Boca Racon home led to the arrest of 38-year-old Walquiria Cassini, her 20-year-old son Matthew Cassini, and her 38-year-old boyfriend Ryan Londono.
Cassini is charged with sexually abusing two children, including abuse of a 10-year-old that began when he was 5 years old. The other child was 9 years old when the abuse allegedly began. She is also charged with criminal conspiracy and cruelty to a child.
An arrest warrant said FBI found tripods, ring cameras, and other evidence used in live-streaming the abuse videos. They said that they accepted payment through a Venmo account.
Londono is charged with forcing children into sex acts and also for abusing the children on camera for paying customers online. He is also charged with criminal conspiracy and cruelty to a child.
The woman’s son is charged with sexually assaulting children but not for filming them.
Judge Donald Hafele said that he had never seen such a heinous case during his career in law enforcement.
“Shocking of this court’s conscience is rare, stemming from the fact that this court has been dedicated to public service for the past 25 years, I’ve seen just about everything, so to shock the court’s conscience is frankly a difficult proposition at this stage of this court’s career,” he said.
An attorney for Cassini said none of the videos were found, but the judge responded that 33 videos were erased from an online platform a day before the raid on the home.
“The extent of this is probably never going to be known,” Hafele said.
He went on deny bond for the trio.
“You’ll not have contact with anyone under 18 — if you ever see the light of day again,” said the judge to Londono.
Cassino worked as an ultrasound technician while Londono is listed as an IT professional. The woman is originally from Brazil but lists her hometown as Boca Racon. She also claimed to be an expert in treating erectile dysfunction and called herself “Urology girl.”
She also wrote, “Darling, I’m a nightmare, dressed like a daydream,” on her Instagram account.
