Okeana woman accused of distributing vulgar photos of kids

(OKEANA, Oh.) – An Ohio woman is accused of distributing explicit videos and photos of children. 

Butler County deputies began investigating 50-year-old Tanya McCreadie, of Okeana, after receiving a tip from the Internet Crimes Against  Children Task Force in January.

Investigators say a search warrant led to them finding evidence that was consistent with the initial report. 

McCreadie has been charged with two counts of Pandering Obscenity Involving a Minor. 

“This type of crime is among the most disturbing that law enforcement encounters,” said Sheriff  Richard K. Jones. “You have to be a pretty low person to possess such vile material where the ultimate  victims are innocent children. We will continue to work tirelessly to identify anyone involved in  exploiting children and hold them fully accountable.” 

The investigation is ongoing as detectives are working to determine if additional images exist and to  identify any other individuals who may have received or been involved in the distribution of this  material.
