US - A Massachusetts mom claims she was duped by a sick perv posing as a fashion photographer when she forced her 10-year-old daughter to pose nude over an Internet live chat.
Ann Lussier, 41, of Attleboro was hoping to win a $20,000 mommy-daughter modeling contract when she forced her pre-teen daughter to pose in a bikini - and then completely disrobe - for a man watching on Skype, her lawyers say.
"The parent had to show the man what both she and the Victim looked like with no clothes on, reportedly so he could see the shape of their bodies," court documents said.
The gullible mom apparently didn't think it was fishy when the phony shutterbug, who claimed to be in Florida, said they wouldn't be able to see him because his computer's camera was broken, the Attleboro Sun Chronicle reported.
Lussier's twin sister reported the incident to police after the wannabe-model mom complained to her about how "uncooperative" the daughter had been, ABC news reported. The aunt also heard the little girl bawling.
Lussier was arrested and charged with child endangerment on Tuesday.
Police eventually identified Joshua Dunfee, from Oxford Junction, Iowa, as the online sex predator.
He was arrested and is being sent to Massachusetts to face federal porn charges.
Lussier and her lawyer, Ernest Solomon, insist they were tricked by a "pervert."
"There are sickos out there, and they let them go. But I get locked up. I'm a victim," Lussier told to the Sun Chronicle.
