Couple Arrested After Nationwide Child Porn Manhunt

September 6, 2012 at 8:49 am by  

Couple Arrested After Nationwide Child Porn ManhuntSALEM, Ore. –  Last month we helped save two children, and helped create nightmares, when we posted pictures of an unidentified woman suspected of manufacturing child porn that featured herself engaged in sexual acts with another man and two young girls. That woman has now been identified as 40-year-old Michelle Freeman and she is now behind bars, along with her husband.

Michelle and her 39-year-old husband, Michael Freeman, surrendered to police after one of their acquaintances recognized photos of Michelle that ICE agents distributed to the media last month, and told them if the couple didn’t turn themselves in, they were going to do it for them.

Last month,  while investigating material in an unrelated child pornography case, some poor soul on a computer forensics team found videos of a snaggle-toothed swamp monster (click at the risk of damaging your soul), along with an adult male, sexually abusing two young girls between the ages of 3 to 7-years-old. ICE agents obtained a “Jane Doe” arrest warrant for the unidentified woman and then asked the public’s help in identifying her.

Court documents revealed that investigators received several tips that the woman in the photos was Michelle Freeman. On Tuesday, officers from the Salem Police Department talked to Michelle, who said she was willing to turn herself in. Federal agents showed up at the Freemans’ house and arrested the couple.

Michael Freeman admitted to investigators that he and Michelle took photos and videos of themesleves sexually abusing their  9-year-old daughter while her 6-year-old sister was present. The photos showed the older girl performing a sexual act on Michael Freeman, and the couple having sex with the girl present. The couple then started making videos of the sexual abuse.

“I started it. Somehow she (Michelle Freeman) got involved,” Michael Freeman told agents. He also told them that he was in a “bad place” when he did it. Michael and Michelle Freeman have each been charged with the sexual exploitation of children for the production of child pornography. They face 15 to 30 years in prison if convicted.

    Their own babies?! Holy shit, can we just throw these two baby-raping assholes into an active volcano?

    I bet he learns that his “bad place” wasn’t nearly as bad as the bad place he he is headed.

    I don’t think my water heater goes high enough to wash the uggy I feel reading this. Those POOR babies. That’s all I can think. The horror and shame of being in that family. My children are around the same ages. I’d kill a man before I’d “some how join” with him…the story would read “Crazed mother goes street rat crazy on pedophile details too disturbing for us to report”

  • Sam

    Considering the kids were initially thought to be between 3 and 7, i’d say the sexual abuse wasn’t the only abuse going on in that household. What, too busy fucking them to actually feed them?

  • Andyman

    I couldn’t agree more. It absolutely sickens me how these parents use their children for their sexual gratification and the subsequent damage it causes later for the abused. What’s really disturbing is pedophilia is a taught / learned behavior so previous victims have a high propensity to subsequently victimize their own children later in life (seeing nothing wrong it it) and the cycle repeats itself. The whole damn thing makes me want to vomit.

  • JustPlainPissy

    Or…that’s just how long it’s been going on. And now I’m going to go throw up again.

  • http://www.facebook.com/karrasmithhammonds Kelly Hammonds

    I feel so sick to my stomach right now. I can’t imagine the horror those poor babies have gone through. I pray they never have to see them ever again.

  • http://www.facebook.com/shelia.alexander Shelia Lee Ann Alexander

    Are they not being charged also with having sex with the children? I hope that the sexual exploitation of children for the production of child pornography isn’t the only thing they are being charged with.

  • CT

    Ding dong the witch is dead, well in jail, but close enough and her little dog too.

  • CT

    Honey, if you think you were in a “bad place” when you did these things – it just gives me the giggles to think of the fun you will have in the “bad place” you are in now.

  • Laura_RT

    There was this episode of Judging Amy where she likens pedofiles to vampires. I always thought that was an incrediby apt way of putting it.

  • JGo555

    DIE ALREADY!

  • Laura_RT

    LOL

  • sugarpie

    I want to puke – on them – after I beat them within a minute of their lives.

  • Laura_RT

    And it’d be a good itea to give them new names and identites so the entire world knows who they are… IDK if they actually do that in cases like these but they totally should.

  • Laura_RT

    I will always believe crimes like these should be death penalty cases. I don’t believe pedophilia can ever be cured and they have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they ARE pedophiles. And considering the amount of damage they have done to these kids, it’s the fairest punishment they can recieve given that our country does not allow for torture, not that I’m against it, personally… It’d be better than they deserve.

  • Laura_RT

    I know that that is one long run on sentence but I’m posting from my phone which is jacked up, making editting way too much work… so sorry.

  • LuvsHorror

    Totally agree.

  • Athena

    While I understand your position, I’m sure you’re aware that the death penalty is limited to cases involving murder (and a handful of crimes against the government). That said, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that a crime like this gets anything less than LWOP.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=596638186 Elvy Golden-Brown

    In a bad place huh. Well he’s going to be in an even worse place now.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736546181 Michael Heldman

    They both suck?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736546181 Michael Heldman

    Freeman? Not no more…

  • spidervomit

    I usually lurk in the shadows and don’t comment but this one hits a little too close to home. This is one is in my hometown.

  • tkaz

    First, why so much sexual abuse in Oregon? My in laws live in Salem and it just seems tainted, you know? We know Ohio & Florida are pretty bad, but it seems Oregon is the capitol of sex abuse cases.
    Second, Pedophiles are frigging weak. They ALWAYS give up! Why is this? Is something hard wired in their brain like that?
    Third, I HOPE those poor girls get some peace and stability after this ordeal.

  • tkaz

    Are you the one that said DP for pedophiles is a bad idea because the victims will never tell if they know the perp (often a family member) will die?
    I remember it, but I don’t know who said it. Either way, it’s an angle I’d never considered & I fully beleive that the psychology of the survivors is important. LWOP is the only choice.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736546181 Michael Heldman

    DP is very tricky to pull off. You gotta make sure the balls never touch…

  • Athena

    I’ve certainly said that. I’ve also said that, if the penalty for these crimes is death, what’s to stop a predator from killing the child to prevent them from reporting the abuse? They’ll be eligible for the same penalty either way. Of course, the same could be said with LWOP sentences.

  • JohnQknowitall

    These people are among the worst kinds of people. Please leave society immediately.

  • Laura_RT

    LMAO, that too.

  • Laura_RT

    Oh, I’m very aware, I just think that should change. You can rehabilitate a murderer (sometimes), but it doesn’t work for pedos maybe it’s in their DNA, maybe they’re just broken, IDK. But you can’t fix being sexually attracted to a child. IMO, they’ve already screwed up this life, perhaps it’s time they move on to another. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be all about LWOP, if it would actually happen, but most of these people get a couple years, do their time and get back out to reoffend. Only this time, they’ve they’ve spent time with other pedo’s, share trade secrets, refine their ways on how not to get caught, and end up that much harder to get caught the second time around.

    When a child is sexually abused, their lives, their very selves have been forever changed. Sometimes they become victims, sometimes they become the very monsters that made them, sometimes they are just broken. The way the law is dealing with that now, is not justice to me.

  • http://www.facebook.com/mary.wallis.7 Mary Wallis

    15-30 years…how does that even begin to be enough for raping your own children, recording the abuse and distributing it to other sickos??? How? How? How?

  • sweekymom

    In Inferno, Dante reserved the ninth circle of Hell for people who betrayed those who trusted them. Personally, I look for this couple to find themselves in Satan’s maw after they die.

  • sweekymom

    There is no justice. That’s how.

  • midniteshadows

    I am a survivor of abuse. Sexual abuse starting at 6 mos of age by persons I don’t remember, babysitter’s husband, an uncle…. I’ve been physically and emotionally abused. I’ve been beaten with wire coat hangers, cords, shoes, brooms, spoons – what ever was handy and within reach.

    Through extensive therapy, bio-feedback, medications, hospitalizations, love and angels, I’ve gone from victim, to survivor to living.

    I will never know what I would have been like if none of this had happened. But I do know who I am now, and what I am. I am alive and I am living.
    I will always and forever, be on the outside looking in.

    To my abusers: look at what you have created. It’s not what you had hoped for. You made me want to live. For that I thank you.

    To my angels, thank you for never giving up on me.

    For those of us who haven’t survived, for those of us still in victim or survivor mode, I have a message for you, from us.

    Die mother fuckers, die.

  • skowhegan_scott

    What would possess two parents to scar their own kids for life by violating that sacred bond in the most horrific way imaginable then videotape it and sell it to get some filthy lucre , I will never ever know . They may get 15-30 , but they have sentenced their daughters to a life term of shame ,sexual repression or promiscuity and self-loathing . May they burn in Hell , if it even exists .

  • Wolf_of_Mars

    … Slowly lower them individually, feet-first, into the lava.

    these psychos shud nt only go in2 prison 4 a punishment…. thts nt enuff… the man shud be castrated n den chopped 2 pieces n da woman shud be burned alive…. these inhuman assholes shud go through mighty torture… :@ :@ :@

  • Disgusted

    Where is the justice in allowing these fucksticks to breath our air, while making US pay to feed, house, clothe, dental, medical, and whatever the hell else for 15-30 years, while they get to continue there sexual fuckedupness in prison? when they deserve to get all of there holes sewn shut and left to rott, although a bullet would be cheaper it would be far too humane for these types. Our laws are FUCKING STUPID!!!

  • Kim

    15 to 30 years for two life’s ruined. These poor kids abused by the very people that were suppose to protect them! Stone their asses and set an example!!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/naomi.luciano.18 Naomi Luciano

    I understand the risk of sexual violators being put to death might hinder other cases where children could be murdered by the abuser for fear of being told on insted of being spared but in most sittuations children are being killed off and dumped and death penalty isn’t even an option as of yet….never mind the fact that when children are left alive the abuse lives on and on and doesn’t stop …i agree that DP should be definately be an option hopefule in the near future but jail time of 30years or less isn’t enough the laws need to be tougher …if the child is spared their life and have the streangth to report the abuse how much safer is it for that child in 15,20 ,maybe 30years when the abusergets out…how safe are other children potential victims when they reoffend…when kids are abused like this in a lot of cases they really feel dead inside trust is hard to come by and like its been said before turn out to be victims for life or a very long time or vecome abusers as well…the laws need to definitely be harder …

  • Athena

    Executing criminals for crimes less than murder has been ruled unconstitutional… repeatedly. It will never be an option, I’m afraid.

  • Athena

    Our laws are designed to protect the innocent. Child molestation cases have relatively high wrongful conviction rates.

  • Tigeress

    I would love to be involved in helping catch Disgusting Perverts like those two and helping shut down sex/dating sites online. Internet is an awesome tool but sad to say too many are using it just to be trashy.

  • Laura_RT

    I wish I could like your comment more than once… I have known a few survivors like you, and I am one myself. Often I try to think what my life would have been like hadI not experienced the traumas I had in my life. The thing is, if I had never been through what I’ve been through, I would not have had my children, who are, by far the biggest blessings of my life. I’m all kinds of fucked up, PTSD, social anxiety, depression, but these are burdens I bear happily knowing w/o them my kids would never have been. I share your sentiment, people like these should not be sharing our air supply…

  • Pawleysgirls

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your invented headliner ”
    Crazed mother goes street rat crazy on pedophile details too disturbing for us to report”!! You were able to say exactly what I have always
    felt in my heart. If I found out that anybody was abusing my daughters, the same headline would be on our front page paper! You go Stacey!!!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/chad.pattan Chad Pattan

    Question:

    What is it with child abusers and the last name “Freeman” (exempting Morgan, of course)?

    First Kylie Freeman and now these two with the SAME last name?

  • Disgusted

    Protect the innocent? I am sure The VIDEO shows who is innocent and who is guilty. Why even give these monsters a trial, Let alone allow them to live? It don’t matter what anyone says, these fuckers are guilty! they are sick and evil and need to Fucking die, just like anyone that would poison our future…

  • kimbev69

    i was sexually abused and i would have reported it in a heartbeat if i knew he was going to get the DP, he’s abusing others now as we speak and has abused others over the yrs…but i can’t prove anything…it’s my word against his

  • kimbev69

    why would anyone down arrow this comment…good for you honey i hope to be in the same place someday…unfortunately i think i have not “owned” my abuse…i can talk about it but it’s like i’m talking about someone else not me

  • kimbev69

    I have PTSD and social anxiety and depression also…only diagnosed about 9 months ago..and have such a hard time facing it…even after 6 wks of intensive therapy i have a long way to go

  • tkaz

    Maybe you can’t prove anything & maybe the statute of limitations has run out (look into that!) but just saying something makes people second guess him & the fact that they put their children in his path. Sometimes it’s not the power of the law, but the power of our words.
    But onto the topic with Athena – children who were abused often love their abuser and to be the one that causes their death can do more harm than good. Once those children grow up they (and you) are definitely better equipped to handle the consequences. It’s the abusers consequences…but they do affect everyone involved.

  • midniteshadows

    @kimbev69 – I am so sorry to hear of your abuse. Sending some love your way. I don’t think anyone can completely “own” their abuse. Even now, I still have fugue states where I check out mentally. I think we come to a point in our lives where our abuse no longer defines us, we accept who we are, and start living. I know and believe that someday, you will come to that point in your life, and start to live. Blessings.

  • midniteshadows

    @Laura_RT – Thank you. As with kimbev69, sending some love your way. I agree with what you have said. It’s like a double edged sword, “Thank you for fucking me up – otherwise I wouldn’t be who I am and have the life I have now.” Ironic. LIke you, I am blessed with a wonderful family and friends. Blessings.

  • kimbev69

    Thanks so much I almost feel like I was doing that til about a yr ago

  • kimbev69

    I have personally approached with a copy of the police report from 1983 to 3 women who 2 of had 2 daughters the same age me n my sister were when he moved in with my mom, (yrs later I found out the older one was abused) the next woman was a bartender with two daughters same age, the first woman asked me to please go with her and I did, turns out everyone in that bar knew who I was, his daughter that ignored her “father” amazing, so when he walked in I had words for him, the bartender said oh I know but he had 5 yrs of counseling he is fine now, I dont know what happened in that situation, the woman he is with now has a granddaughter, when his mother died I went there to visit his sister who was staying with them and she and I both told this woman, that was 5 yrs ago, last summer I was at a street fair and saw him walking hand in hand with the granddaughter who was about 12 it broke my heart

  • Laura_RT

    It’s hard because with social anxiety, leaving the house, calling to make doc appt, my kids school functions, all of these things, all of these NORMAL things, take a massive amount of willpower to accomplish. So ironically, at least for me, is very hard to do because it requires that I do the thing I need help doing, SMH.. it’s really kind of ridiculous when you think about it. Good for you that you have taken that first step. You’ll be in my prayers tonght…

  • Laura_RT

    You’re absolutely right. If it weren’t for my kiddos and my man, I don’t think getting up out of bed on a daily basis would ever happen for me, but because of those blessings, I soldier on.

  • kimbev69

    As you will be in mine also laura :0)
