Chesapeake, Va. – A Chesapeake mother has been arrested and is now facing 30 felony charges related to child porn. Police say the victims are her two children.

22-year-old Kanealeen Latouche was arrested on July 26 and charged with 30 felonies, including indecent liberties with a minor, production/possession/distribution of child pornography, forcible sodomy, and sexual battery.

Her arrest came after the Chesapeake Police Internet Crimes Against Children unit conducted an investigation into the allegations of child pornography involving the woman and her two children, ages two and three.

“It’s a shame. That’s sad. It’s truly sad. I have two boys myself and, and it’s, that’s just sick,” says Todd Mchargue.

Todd Mchargue lives across the street from Latouche on Tealwood Lane. He says she lived at that address for about eight months. And in the quiet neighborhood, he had a feeling something was up. That’s because, he says, he always saw expensive cars parked out front and people going in and out.

“It’s like whenever you seen her outside, she was always on the phone like she was coming out of the house to use the phone, and it was like, it was a revolving door there,” says Mchargue.

Latouche’s house was empty on Tuesday when NewsChannel 3 stopped by. A “No Trespassing” sign was posted on the front door.The case is currently under investigation right now.

And, while Mchargue suspected something was going on, he says, he never expected this.
“I have two golden retrievers and they, ya know, they loved the dogs and stuff but she’d never let them come over and play with them but, yeah, that’s horrendous because they’re nice little kids. They were very nice, cute, little kids,” says Mchargue.
