Child Sex Charges Against Julie M. Carr in Small Town Maine … Charged with Gross Sexual Assault & Felony Exploitation of a Minor

It is just another example of no town in America, no matter how big or small is immune from the exploitation of children. 30 year old Julie M. Carr, a mother of four, from Mars Hill, Maine was arrested for the sexual assault of one of her children. Julie Carr was charged with gross sexual assault and felony exploitation of a child and could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Julie M. Carr, 30, of Mars Hill, Maine, was arrested Friday night by state police after they received a tip from 3,000 miles away, when the Child Exploitation Investigation Team of England’s West Midlands Police received information that a local man was using the Internet to show inappropriate material of children.

A day later, Carr was arrested, and her four children — believed to range from 18 months to 5 years old — were taken into protective custody.

West Midlands Police in the United Kingdom contacted ICE agents. Law enforcement officials in that country were investigating child sexual abuse when they discovered recorded videos showing a woman committing sexual acts on a young child.

The U.K. investigation revealed that the United States was the likely origin of the videos, which reportedly had been recorded from a live webcast. Police discovered the point of origin likely was in Mars Hill.
