Authorities say a woman from New Jersey has been charged with producing, distributing, and advertising images of child sexual abuse.

Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael Honig says 31-year-old Dominique Saczawa of Sparta, Sussex County, is facing one count of production of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography, and one count of advertisement of child pornography.

Honig's office says last month, "...Saczawa used a web-based application to share images and videos depicting the sexual assault of a child, and to solicit others to share similar content. Saczawa produced video and images of a minor victim engaged in sexually explicit conduct and Saczawa communicated these to other individuals through the web-based application."

dailyvoice.com reports Saczawa has a drug-related criminal history that goes back about 10 years. That publication says she has a young son and she describes herself online as a "stay-at-home mom."

If convicted, the charges of production and advertisement of child porn each carry anywhere from 15 to 30 years behind bars and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of distribution of child porn could result in five to 20 years in prison and another quarter-million dollar fine.

The public is reminded that charges are accusations and the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

New Jersey's most disgraceful child predators and accused predators

NJ arrests 31 accused child predators in "Operation 24/7"

A roundup of 31 men have been accused of sexually exploiting children online, state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced on July 14 while detailing "Operation 24/7."

The suspects “possessed and or distributed videos and images of child sexual abuse, including in many cases videos of young children being raped by adults,” Grewal said.

Chat apps and gaming platforms remain favorite hunting grounds for child predators and even as the pandemic winds down, many children have continued to spend more time online.

State Police received 39% more tips in just the first 6 months of 2021 than they received in the entire year in 2019. The following are suspects charged in "Operation 24/7."
