There are dozens of notices of other pending cases, a number that does not begin to reflect the actual number of potential defendants in criminal and civil cases. Nine other people have been convicted in federal court for downloading Masha's pictures. Masha's courage may now assist lawmakers as they look for ways to combat the growing child-porn industry.Īuthorities say one in five children is now approached by online predators in what Congress calls a multibillion-dollar industry. "If they tell somebody, it's going to change." How about you just google the name of the girl thats 2inches below your comment."Even if they are afraid to tell somebody, no matter what they think is going to happen, it's going to be for the better," she said. Mariya Babko is a (former?) rusian teen model who, between the ages of roughly 9 or 10 and 13 or 14, was also a "professional" child porn actress/model who went by the name Masha. Also holy - this is nearly a year old, how long have you been clicking. She worked with a company called '1st Studio' who outwardly appeared to be a legitimate agency, but produced a series of soft and hardcore pornographic photosets and videos for private collectors under the title 'Siberian Mouse'.Īt some point between 20 a number of these videos and pictures were leaked onto the web and the company promptly shut down their operation. Mariya Babko's mainstream modeling career, which was on the rise to that point, was left in ruins in the wake of the scandal, in particular, the revelation that in a number of videos and pictures she and a girl purported to be her roughly three years younger sister performed sexual acts on each other, and in one video performed oral sex on a man together.Īs the scandal unfolded there were many who felt that Mariya was not a victim in the same way that other sexually abused children are, largely because she was paid extremely well, and also because there was no evidence of coercion. There was little effort by authorities to conceal her identity, as would normally be the protocol in a case such as this, and she has since dropped off the radar.Īll of her personal webpages promoting her modeling career have pulled offline, and very little information can be found on her, however there is a photograph of her in an advertisement for FMD (Fashion Model Directory) and, it's claimed, the picture appears to be current, that is, she looks at least a couple of years older then when last seen.

And that's all I know about Mariya Babko, most of which is rumor or conjecture. Her only connection to the "deep web" is that that's largely where the infamous pics and vids are being traded.
