A 31-year-old Denver woman has been charged with sexually assaulting her 2-year-old son.
The mother, whom The Denver Post is not identifying to protect the identity of her child, is accused of assaulting the toddler and then sending photographs in an e-mail about the assault to a friend, according to the Denver district attorney’s office.
The e-mail was later discovered by the boy’s father, who reported it to police, prosecutors said in a news release.
The child is in the care of Denver Human Services.
The defendant faces three felony charges: sexual assault on a child, sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and aggravated incest.
She is free on a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court on Monday to be formally advised of the charges.
The e-mailing of possible child pornography material is being referred to federal authorities for review, the release said.
