Woman Charged With Child Porn After Photos Developed

Police Say Photos Show Child Woman Was Caring For

POSTED: 6:17 pm EDT May 14, 2008

A woman was arrested after photos of a child apparently posing nude were developed at a Manchester photo shop.

Gregoria Tzoy-Morente, 44, was charged with eight counts of child pornography after a clerk at Walgreens developed photos on a memory card she brought in. Police said eight of the pictures looked suspicious and showed a 4-year-old boy posing nude.

Through an interpreter, Tzoy-Morente, a Guatemalan native, said she didn't think she did anything wrong.

"I didn't do it as a bad thing," she said. "I was doing it as a game. He was taking a bath, and when he took his clothes off, I took pictures."

Police described the photos as graphic and lewd.

"Among the photos of various family members was a young boy posing nude in sexually suggestive positions," Sgt. Maureen Tessier said.

According to Walgreens policy, the store processes such pictures and returns them to the individual who brought them in, but copies are also made and provided to police.

The 4-year-old's father said he saw the pictures. He said that while he thinks Tzoy-Morente made a bad decision, he doesn't believe she meant any harm. He also disputed that the photos were explicit.

Police said Tzoy-Morente lives with the boy's father and often takes care of the child, but this was the first time she did it alone. The boy is only at their house on weekends.

"We were concerned and started an investigation and found he was safe and unharmed in his mother's home," Tessier said.

Tzoy-Morente was held on $40,000 bail, and she was ordered to not have any contact with the boy or anyone under 18 years old.
