Happy Monday everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Podcast 69 South.
00:00:33.576 --> 00:00:43.960
I am your host, julie, and today my co-host, chop, is busy so he's not going to be here, but we wanted to get this episode out to you.
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:51.207
He's not going to be here, but we wanted to get this episode out to you, so without further ado, let's jump right on into it.
00:00:51.207 --> 00:01:18.350
In the Hancock County Superior Court state of Indiana versus April Brown and this is the affidavit for probable cause I am a detective sergeant with the Greenfield Police Department, currently assigned part-time to the Hamilton County Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
00:01:18.350 --> 00:01:29.808
I am filing this affidavit in support of the charges of 35-46-3-14, 1.
00:01:29.808 --> 00:01:33.272
Bestiality a level 6 felony.
00:01:33.272 --> 00:01:36.436
5 counts.
00:01:36.436 --> 00:02:04.496
35-41-2-4.35-46-3-14, aiding in bestiality a level 6 felony, and she's been charged with one count.
00:02:04.516 --> 00:02:05.359
Now April Brown is a white female.
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.620
She was born in 1977.
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:13.250
She's about 5 foot, weighs about 100 pounds.
00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:15.680
She's a small little girl or woman.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.393
Their last known address was off Switchgrass Drive in Greenfield.
00:02:21.393 --> 00:02:49.396
In Greenfield Now, on March 12, 2024, I observed the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber Tip Line Report 1-875-474-98, that was submitted by Yahoo in reference to a user sending images of suspected child pornography.
00:02:50.441 --> 00:02:56.213
The user information provided in the report was for the following subscriber.
00:02:56.213 --> 00:03:01.991
Now the name of this subscriber is Stephanie Reeves.
00:03:01.991 --> 00:03:05.403
Is Stephanie Reeves?
00:03:05.403 --> 00:03:11.390
Stephanie Reeves is also a part of this, but we haven't got to her probable cause affidavit.
00:03:11.390 --> 00:03:25.185
But she's in this group of four that we're going to be talking about, which is April Brown, stephanie Reeves, eric Reid and Anthony Straw.
00:03:25.185 --> 00:03:31.754
It had an email listed as kittygadget at somethingcom.
00:03:31.754 --> 00:03:35.350
It was redacted and it was an address out of Greenfield.
00:03:37.381 --> 00:03:48.116
Now, on May 30th 2024, members of the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force executed a search warrant.
00:03:48.116 --> 00:04:14.974
Once the house and the subjects were secured, detective Benzine and I conducted an interview with Stephanie Reeves in a church parking lot under a covering, while Detective Miller and Detective Borgman transported Anthony Strahl to the Fountain Town fire station for an interview.
00:04:14.974 --> 00:04:19.483
April Brown spoke with detectives on scene.
00:04:19.483 --> 00:04:31.016
While speaking with detectives, all the subjects advised that Reeves and Strahl were engaged and Brown was their girlfriend.
00:04:31.016 --> 00:04:36.733
So we have Stephanie Reeves and Anthony Strahl.
00:04:36.733 --> 00:04:49.209
They are engaged to be married and then they were like in a polyamorous type of relationship and April Brown was their girlfriend.
00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:59.273
Now, multiple items of evidence were collected during the execution of the search warrant on May 30, 2024.
00:04:59.273 --> 00:05:08.512
All of the evidence was transported to the Fishers Police Department where it was forensically downloaded.
00:05:08.512 --> 00:05:25.130
Once the downloads were complete, I observed the following Evidence item 3, anthony's phone Video is one second.
00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:36.115
The video shows a brown mutt dog looking up at the camera with his tongue on the female's bare sex organ.
00:05:36.115 --> 00:05:41.271
The female in the video is only visible from the waist down.
00:05:41.271 --> 00:05:48.341
The female is only wearing white ankle socks with yellow, red and blue writing on them.
00:05:48.341 --> 00:05:53.250
The female's right ankle has a white ankle bracelet on it.
00:05:53.250 --> 00:06:05.694
The socks and the ankle bracelet are the same that are on the female in the video that was created approximately four minutes later that shows April Brown's face.
00:06:05.694 --> 00:06:13.553
That is count one, which is 35-46-3-14.
00:06:15.401 --> 00:06:18.230
The next video is a three-minute video.
00:06:18.230 --> 00:06:29.819
This video starts off with Emil laying naked with his sex organ exposed.
00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:56.980
A female is laying sideways with her right hand on the male, legs open and a brown mutt dog licking her bale female sex organ.
00:06:56.980 --> 00:07:04.083
The female's face comes into view, whom I know to be April Brown.
00:07:04.083 --> 00:07:13.055
Brown begins sucking on the male's privates while holding a glow stick with her right hand.
00:07:13.055 --> 00:07:42.430
The dog stops licking Brown's female sex organ and the male, using his right hand that had a dark colored bracelet on his wrist, reaches between Brown's legs and is rubbing her female sex organ until the dog begins licking her there.
00:07:42.430 --> 00:07:58.471
A few moments later, the male reaches over and rubs the female organ again while the dog is licking the female organ.
00:07:58.471 --> 00:08:04.944
Ew, this is just so disgusting I can't even wrap my mind around it.
00:08:04.944 --> 00:08:06.228
I don't even want to read this.
00:08:06.228 --> 00:08:14.540
I cannot believe people are this sick.
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.271
After observing multiple nude photographs and videos of Anthony Straw, I can identify the male in the video to be him.
00:08:25.271 --> 00:08:35.510
The bracelet on his right wrist in the video is the same bracelet he is wearing in multiple photos and videos recovered on his page.
00:08:35.510 --> 00:08:47.711
The moles freckles on his right arm are similar to the moles and freckles Anthony Straw has on his body.
00:08:47.711 --> 00:09:06.690
The male's genitalia is consistent with known images of Strahl's male genitalia as seen in multiple videos and images.
00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:12.393
I can identify the male voice in the video to be Straw.
00:09:12.393 --> 00:09:15.307
Now this is count three.
00:09:15.307 --> 00:09:24.354
Could you imagine having to be the investigator and watch these videos?
00:09:24.354 --> 00:09:30.881
They definitely have to have therapy after going through this shit.
00:09:32.123 --> 00:09:42.712
So we come across another file, and this is dated August 29th 2023 At 5.07 pm.
00:09:42.712 --> 00:09:47.636
It is a photo of April Brown nude in a bedroom.
00:09:47.636 --> 00:09:55.013
April is sitting on her knees on the floor with a shocked expression on her face.
00:09:55.013 --> 00:10:06.674
The brown mutt dog is between her legs with its head to her bare female genitalia.
00:10:06.674 --> 00:10:09.607
That would be count four.
00:10:09.607 --> 00:10:21.902
We come across another file dated 8-3-2023, at approximately 6.30 pm Now.
00:10:21.902 --> 00:10:57.500
These are photos of April Brown nude in a bedroom, with the brown mutt dog finding his way in between her legs with its head to her bare female genitalia.
00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:04.799
What is wrong with people and why would they even think that this is okay?
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:10.092
We come across another file dated May 7, 2023.
00:11:11.321 --> 00:11:17.389
This is a video and it's 2 minutes and 59 seconds in length.
00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:27.133
The video starts off with Stephanie Reeves laying nude on a pink towel in a bed.
00:11:27.133 --> 00:11:31.990
A brown mutt dog is beside her.
00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:40.907
The bed has a blanket that is a pattern of blues and whites and a pink towel is underneath Reeves.
00:11:40.907 --> 00:11:51.250
The bed has a brown headboard and several pillows, including one white pillow with a diamond pattern.
00:11:51.250 --> 00:11:59.389
The dog headboard and several pillows, including one white pillow with a diamond pattern.
00:11:59.389 --> 00:12:05.159
The dog, the headboard, the pattern pillar.
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:14.095
They all closely resemble images found on April Brown's Facebook page from her bedroom.
00:12:14.095 --> 00:12:21.754
The bed is also observed in several other images on Strahl's device.
00:12:21.754 --> 00:12:33.921
Strahl's device.
00:12:33.921 --> 00:12:35.663
The person taking the video says let her smell right here.
00:12:35.663 --> 00:12:58.409
Then the female I can identify as April Brown takes her hand near Reeves's bare female genitalia and makes a sound for the brown mutt dog to go to Reeves' bare female genitalia where the dog begins licking.
00:12:58.409 --> 00:13:16.191
Reeves continues to pet the dog with a smile on her face while the brown mutt dog is licking her from ass in to chin Whew, disgusting.
00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:25.263
So on September 9, 2024, the investigators spoke with Brown.
00:13:25.263 --> 00:13:34.182
Brown clarified that she still resides at her address she was living at.
00:13:34.182 --> 00:13:38.070
I asked Brown to describe her apartment.
00:13:38.070 --> 00:13:47.293
She advised that it was a two-bedroom and Brown advised that her bed had purple sheets and several other colors as well.
00:13:47.293 --> 00:14:01.360
I located photographs from Brown's Facebook page that contained the same small brown mutt dog and headboard from the images in Strahl's phone.
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:15.799
In Strahl's phone, all of the above events occurred in Hancock County, except were specifically stated otherwise.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:27.048
I hereby swear, under penalties of perjury, that the foregoing representations are true and correct, to the best of my knowledge and belief, and it is signed by the Greenfield Police Department Detective Sergeant.
00:14:27.048 --> 00:14:38.375
So while I was investigating and looking up who these people were, I came across their TikToks.
00:14:38.375 --> 00:14:47.847
And I came across Ms April Brown's TikToks and guess what she has in them the dog.
00:14:47.847 --> 00:14:55.070
It was so disturbing she had him dressed like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.243
It was something else.
00:14:58.243 --> 00:15:27.313
You can go and find these videos at Ms Excuse me at Ms April underscore two one and it's a public profile on the tick tock and I haven't noticed April being around a lot of kids or anything like that.
00:15:31.321 --> 00:15:39.427
But when we get into our next probable cause affidavit we're going to have lots of questions.
00:15:39.427 --> 00:15:54.817
And another note that I would like to add is that I just checked April Brown to see if she was still incarcerated.
00:15:54.817 --> 00:16:06.453
And I believe she is still incarcerated and on January 34th it says court sets bond.
00:16:06.453 --> 00:16:13.133
A witness called and sworn for testimony as to cash bond.
00:16:13.133 --> 00:16:15.788
The testimony was heard.
00:16:15.788 --> 00:16:22.293
Court sets cash bond in the amount of $2,000.
00:16:22.293 --> 00:16:31.333
Defendant is to have no contact with any animals while out on bond in this case.
00:16:31.333 --> 00:16:38.874
So that pretty much sums up the charges against April Brown.
00:16:38.874 --> 00:16:52.250
Thank God she wasn't trying to touch no kids or diddle any kids, but the people she was hanging around were so birds of a feather flock together.
00:16:52.250 --> 00:16:54.245
We don't know.
00:16:54.245 --> 00:16:56.006
She hasn't been charged with it.
00:16:56.620 --> 00:17:00.822
But let's jump into Stephanie Reeves' probable cause affidavit.
00:17:00.822 --> 00:17:29.599
Okay, y'all, this is a pretty big one.
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:39.980
She is facing a lot of charges, so we will probably have to end up doing a part two.
00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:54.476
So here we go with Miss Stephanie Reeves, state of Indiana versus Stephanie R Reeves, case number 2024-00012574.
00:17:54.476 --> 00:18:26.469
Affidavit in support of the charges Sexual misconduct with a minor person over 21 years of age.
00:18:26.808 --> 00:18:37.477
Submits to sexual intercourse or other sexual acts with a child less than 16 years of age.
00:18:37.477 --> 00:18:46.991
So I'm kind of confused on that one, because it says the person over 21 years of age submits to.
00:18:46.991 --> 00:18:50.825
Oh okay, I get it, never mind.
00:18:50.825 --> 00:18:56.222
Sorry, I just had a brain fart, excuse me, alrighty.
00:18:56.222 --> 00:18:59.539
The next one Incest.
00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:22.597
A person at least 18 years of age engages in sexual conduct with another person when they know they are related biologically, as a parent, and the other person is less than 16 years of age.
00:19:24.942 --> 00:19:30.450
Then we go to the next charge bestiality, a level six felony.
00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:38.492
And folks bestiality is where people do stuff with animals.
00:19:38.492 --> 00:19:41.028
Yes, disgusting, I know.
00:19:41.028 --> 00:20:00.730
Next charges we have child exploitation dissemination of child pornography of a child less than 12 years of age, which is a level four felony.
00:20:00.730 --> 00:20:14.141
The next charge we have child exploitation possessing child pornography of a child less than 12 years of age.
00:20:14.141 --> 00:20:16.622
That is the level five felony.
00:20:16.622 --> 00:20:20.943
Another charge of child exploitation.
00:20:20.943 --> 00:20:29.388
Exploitation, possessing child pornography of less than 18 years of age a level six felony.
00:20:29.388 --> 00:20:36.413
Then we have dissemination of matter harmful to minors a level six felony.
00:20:36.413 --> 00:20:49.881
Vicarious sexual gratification a level four felony.
00:20:49.881 --> 00:20:54.564
And attempted possession of child pornography a level six felony.
00:20:54.564 --> 00:20:59.987
So all these charges are against Stephanie Reeves.
00:20:59.987 --> 00:21:06.912
She's a white female in her 40s, born in 81.
00:21:06.912 --> 00:21:09.133
She's a very tall woman.
00:21:09.133 --> 00:21:15.436
She's 6'2" slender, weighs about 180 pounds.
00:21:15.436 --> 00:21:52.932
She's got blonde hair with brown eyes or sorry, blondish brown hair and blue eyes, and you usually see her floating around Fountaintown.
00:21:52.696 --> 00:21:56.796
Indiana Children Cyber Tip Line Report that was submitted by Yahoo in reference to a user sending images of suspected child pornography.
00:21:56.796 --> 00:22:04.553
The user provided in the report was for the following subscriber name Stephanie Reeves.
00:22:04.553 --> 00:22:16.413
Following subscriber named Stephanie Reeves her birthday an email related to some kitty gadget at somethingcom out of Greenfield.
00:22:16.413 --> 00:22:29.596
Now, the Cyber Tip Line report contained a total of six files that were child exploitation material.
00:22:29.596 --> 00:22:34.759
The detective reviewed the images associated with the report.
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:48.711
The files associated in the report all contained child exploitation material as defined in Indiana IC 35-42-4-4.
00:22:48.711 --> 00:22:58.273
Below are a description of those image files from the Cyber Tip Line Report.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:24.134
Now, on December 28, 2023, an email Rye Rye by Junkie sent Kitty Gadget an email that contained child pornography.
00:23:24.134 --> 00:23:39.049
Let me spell this email it's R-Y-O-B-I-J-U-N-K-I-E.
00:23:39.049 --> 00:23:54.075
What do you guys think that means, yuck?
00:23:54.075 --> 00:23:55.876
And then it is sent to the kitty gadget K I T T Y G A D E T.
00:23:55.876 --> 00:23:58.500
And then it doesn't say what service it provides.
00:23:58.500 --> 00:24:05.569
It just says those are the beginning handles of the email that contains child pornography.
00:24:23.775 --> 00:24:28.375
Now, in this first file, the image file depicts a topless early pubescent female sitting on her knees with her arms bent back in front of cabinets.
00:24:28.375 --> 00:24:37.478
The child's top half are exposed and she is wearing white undergarments with multicolored hearts on them.
00:24:37.478 --> 00:24:46.431
I would estimate the child to be approximately between 9 and 11 years old, based on her size and development of her body.
00:24:46.431 --> 00:25:03.231
This file pertains to count one child exploitation, which is a level five possessing child pornography of a child less than 12 years of age.
00:25:03.231 --> 00:25:22.172
Now, on December 29, 2023, at 3.30 in the morning, an email containing child pornography was sent from the Rio by Junkie to the Kitty Gadget email.
00:25:22.172 --> 00:25:40.602
Now this image file depicts a nude, early pubescent female posing by leaning back on her hands and feet on a towel that is laying in the grass and feet on a towel that is laying in the grass.
00:25:40.602 --> 00:25:45.970
The child is exposing her entire body.
00:25:45.970 --> 00:25:54.698
I would estimate the child to be between 9 and 11 years old, based on her size.
00:25:54.698 --> 00:26:00.605
She was underdeveloped in all areas, let's just say Now I am sugarcoating this.
00:26:00.605 --> 00:26:04.109
It is very hard and disgusting to read.
00:26:04.109 --> 00:26:23.436
This file pertains to count two child exploitation A level five felony possessing child pornography of a child less than 12 years old.
00:26:23.636 --> 00:26:35.063
On Valentine's Day of 2024, of all days, let's send your old man some nasty ass emails.
00:26:35.063 --> 00:26:40.385
I mean, can you think of the mindset of these people and how disgusting they are?
00:26:40.385 --> 00:26:42.346
So here we go.
00:26:42.346 --> 00:26:58.019
We have an email sent from this RIO by junkie to this kitty gadget, two separate emails that contain child pornography.
00:26:58.019 --> 00:27:06.084
The image file depicts a nude, early pubescent female sitting posed with her knees up.
00:27:06.084 --> 00:27:12.127
Her breast and female organs are exposed.
00:27:12.127 --> 00:27:14.522
The background is all white.
00:27:14.522 --> 00:27:26.771
I would estimate her age to be approximately 9 to 11 years old, based on her size and her development, or let's say underdevelopment.
00:27:27.555 --> 00:27:40.871
Now, this file pertains to count three child exploitation, which is a level four felony disseminating child pornography of a child less than 12 years of age.
00:27:40.871 --> 00:27:44.741
Let's jump to this next file.
00:27:44.741 --> 00:27:56.450
On the same day, the image file depicts a nude, early pubescent female child in front of a trailer.
00:27:56.450 --> 00:28:03.528
Her body and all of her organs are exposed.
00:28:03.528 --> 00:28:08.766
There's some words, but they are redacted out.
00:28:08.766 --> 00:28:17.459
And then you see Ann, covington, kentucky, are written on the bottom of the photo.
00:28:17.459 --> 00:28:24.450
I would estimate the age of the child to be between nine years old.
00:28:24.450 --> 00:28:39.548
Based on her size and her underdevelopment that she is nowhere near old enough.
00:28:39.548 --> 00:28:42.242
Sorry, I'm at a loss for words.
00:28:42.242 --> 00:28:44.382
It's hard to report this.
00:28:44.382 --> 00:28:53.922
I got to read it and then my brain's got to just try to get out of my head as quick as I can because it makes me want to puke.
00:28:53.922 --> 00:28:59.967
So this is count four child exploitation.
00:28:59.967 --> 00:29:08.990
It's a level four felony in disseminating child pornography of less than 12 years of age.
00:29:10.155 --> 00:29:18.526
Now, on the same day, on February 14th, kitty Gadget sent two separate emails that contained child pornography.
00:29:18.526 --> 00:29:40.210
She sent one to TonyStraw19, and then two emails contained the same two photographs of child pornography that Reeves had received earlier that day from Ryo by Junkie.
00:29:40.210 --> 00:29:43.083
The file names are just different.
00:29:43.083 --> 00:29:45.825
See below for descriptions.
00:29:45.825 --> 00:29:58.721
After reviewing the original file, I have determined that the file is a duplicate of the file described in count four.
00:29:58.721 --> 00:30:09.226
Both files the same child, estimated between nine and 11 years old, exposing her body organs.
00:30:09.226 --> 00:30:23.701
The file is separately saved image and pertains to count five child exploitation, a level four felony possessing child pornography of a child less than 12 years old.
00:30:23.701 --> 00:30:31.428
Now we're still on the same day, february 14th, valentine's Day of last year.
00:30:31.428 --> 00:30:44.386
After reviewing the original file, he had determined that it was a duplicate file and they are described in count three.
00:30:44.386 --> 00:30:53.765
Both files contain the same child, estimated between 9 and 11 years old, exposing her body organs.
00:30:53.765 --> 00:31:07.070
The file pertains to count six child exploitation, and a level four felony of possessing child pornography of a child less than 12 years old.
00:31:07.070 --> 00:31:12.647
I know it kind of sounds like I'm repeating myself, but I'm reading them straight down.
00:31:12.647 --> 00:31:25.909
It is hard for me to go through and read these things and have to read them over to you, because they're just so nasty and disgusting and I cannot think of these poor kids having to go through this nasty ass shit.
00:31:25.909 --> 00:31:28.101
So here we go.
00:31:28.394 --> 00:31:38.470
On March 26, 2024, I reviewed the Verizon records associated with a phone number.
00:31:38.470 --> 00:31:51.789
The subscriber information provided the following it was Stephanie Reeves' phone number, her account number, her address and her home phone number.
00:31:51.789 --> 00:31:55.656
The phone number is registered to Stephanie Reeves.
00:31:55.656 --> 00:32:06.785
To Stephanie Reeves, the register indicates it's associated with a Samsung Galaxy S21, and then it states the IMEI number.
00:32:06.785 --> 00:32:18.833
The Verizon account owner customer, stephanie Reeves, has the email kittygadget at whatever associated with the account.
00:32:18.833 --> 00:32:31.719
I reviewed the Yahoo return for Kitty Gadget at suchandsuchcom.
00:32:31.719 --> 00:32:43.705
The Yahoo return provides the user information for the account as Stephanie Reeves' birthday of it's redacted and a verified phone number.
00:32:43.705 --> 00:32:48.366
The number was verified on April 18, 2023.
00:32:48.366 --> 00:33:04.432
In the photos I located several photographs of child pornography and several photographs of age-difficult females exposing their breasts and female sex organs.
00:33:05.776 --> 00:33:15.109
On May 30, 2024, members of the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force executed a search warrant.
00:33:15.109 --> 00:33:22.215
Detectives and I conducted an interview with Stephanie Reeves in a church parking lot.
00:33:22.215 --> 00:33:32.116
Under a covering, I read Reeves' her advisement of rights from the ICAC advisement of rights form.
00:33:32.116 --> 00:33:37.022
Reeves acknowledged that she understood her rights and agreed to speak with us.
00:33:37.022 --> 00:33:49.929
The interview with Reeves was audio and video recorded in its entirety, but some of the relevant portions are summarized below.
00:33:49.929 --> 00:33:56.847
Note Reeves refers to Eric Reid as Eric in the conversation.
00:33:56.847 --> 00:33:59.346
Anthony Straw is her fiancé.
00:33:59.346 --> 00:34:00.493
Anthony Strahl is her fiance.
00:34:00.493 --> 00:34:03.703
Kitty Gadget is her email.
00:34:03.703 --> 00:34:11.148
Ryo by Junkie is Eric Reed's and ex-boyfriend's email.
00:34:11.148 --> 00:34:15.427
Tony Strahl, 19, is her fiance's account.
00:34:15.427 --> 00:34:27.007
Reeves and Reed exchanges images from different social media platforms, to include Telegram and a nudist-free group on Facebook.
00:34:27.007 --> 00:34:35.221
Blank is the number associated with Reeves' Telegram account.
00:34:35.862 --> 00:34:55.099
When explaining the two incidents regarding sending child exploitative to Straw, and Reeves initially indicated it might have been an accident but later said she sent it to Straw because he wanted to know what her and Reed were talking about.
00:34:55.099 --> 00:35:16.784
Reeves described the exploitive material as something that excites Reed to send out and stated I only do it because I know he gets off by looking at pictures like that, because he's the one and he don't share.
00:35:16.784 --> 00:35:25.666
Talk with a lot of people about what he's into and I'm the only friend he's got that he can talk to about it.
00:35:25.666 --> 00:35:31.788
And yeah, I'll play the mommy, son role back with him because I get into that.
00:35:31.788 --> 00:35:35.141
I need to puke now.
00:35:35.141 --> 00:35:58.827
Reeves denied knowing anything that it was children and when I described the prepubescent female child with no pubic hair or breast development, reeves stated yeah, but I know what the age is.
00:35:58.827 --> 00:36:04.472
The detective stated yeah, you know they are less than 18.
00:36:04.472 --> 00:36:13.293
And she stated, yeah, but I know that's something he gets into.
00:36:13.293 --> 00:36:21.233
The detective stated that when she allows him to send it, she's in possession of it and she agreed.
00:36:24.355 --> 00:36:33.289
Reeves has two sons, juvenile victim, one age 17 and SR 16 years old as of May 2024, that are currently staying with their father.
00:36:33.289 --> 00:36:40.007
There's a group chat with juvenile one, straw and Reeves, on Facebook.
00:36:40.007 --> 00:36:54.927
Manager Reeves sent a photo in lingerie to Juvenile Victim 1, who was her child, and Straw asked son, do you like the picture?
00:36:54.927 --> 00:37:07.603
Reeves alleged that she was trying to send it to Eric for the Mommy's Son roleplay allegedly, but it was a picture of Reeves in lingerie.
00:37:07.603 --> 00:37:17.063
Reeves said that Strahl talked to Juvenile Victim 1 through the group chat to see what Juvenile Victim 1 would say about Reeves.
00:37:17.063 --> 00:37:18.746
What Juvenile Victim 1 would say about Reeves.
00:37:18.746 --> 00:37:26.478
Reeves consented to turning over her Facebook and telegram accounts to law enforcement.
00:37:26.518 --> 00:37:28.826
Reeves claimed Juvenile Victim 1.
00:37:28.826 --> 00:37:30.876
, which is her son.
00:37:30.876 --> 00:37:39.567
I would always walk in when she and Stahl were having sex, but she said they would stop when he came into the room.
00:37:39.567 --> 00:37:50.324
Reeves also claimed juvenile victim one would rub the inside of her breast or her inner leg.
00:37:50.324 --> 00:37:56.010
Okay, here we go again.
00:37:56.010 --> 00:38:03.974
Reeves agreed to submit to a polygraph test with a special agent of Homeland Security.
00:38:03.974 --> 00:38:12.469
