Woman, 34, held on $13m bail over 142 child and animal sex abuse clips

Madyson Daenen allegedly had 134 child sex abuse videos, and eight involving animals being sexually abused

A 34 year-old woman is being held in jail on $13.6million bail after investigators allegedly discovered her with 140 sex abuse clips featuring children and animals. Madyson Daenen was arrested in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, on January 18 after sheriff’s deputies are said to have found 134 clips of child sexual abuse.

Daenen is also said to have been in possession of eight clips depicting the sexual abuse of an animal or animals. Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment further on whether Daenen filmed and participated in the clips, or downloaded them from somewhere else.

They have also yet to say how they were made aware of the abuse material.

But the size of her bail suggests the charges she faces are extremely serious. A sheriff’s office spokesman said: ‘Detectives interviewed a female suspect – identified as 34-year old Madyson Daenen – of Denham Springs.

‘At that time, electronic devices were seized. While this investigation is still ongoing, detectives did uncover evidence which led to her recent arrest on 134 counts of pornography involving juveniles and 8 counts of pornography involving animals.’

Daenen was previously arrested in October 2018 on a failure to appear charge. A probe into the abuse material said to have been found on her phone continues.
