A female child therapist has confessed to sharing horrific videos and photos of baby r@pe online, where she also got a sick pleasure out of pretending to be a dad who r@ped his own kids.
Renee Hoberman, a 36-year-old licensed social worker from Plainview, pleaded guilty in federal court in Islip on Wednesday, June 18, to distributing child p0rn videos on the social media app Kik, including the r@pe of a baby less than 1 year old, federal prosecutors said.
She told investigators that she got off on the stomach-churning content, which she shared in 2024 while she was working in Melville as a therapist with children aged 17 and under.
“The defendant … admitted to distributing extremely vile and unthinkable videos depicting the horrific s£xual abuse of babies. The videos the defendant distributed and sought for her own perverse pleasure showed the most innocent members of our society being restrained and violently r@ped,” stated US Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr.
“The defendant’s crimes should outrage and offend every decent member of our society,” he added.
One nauseating video shared by Hoberman depicted a baby between 6 months and 1 year old being held down and r@ped by an adult man, prosecutors said.
She also participated in perverted online chat rooms in which she pretended to be the father of several children and claimed to have had s£x with them.
Hoberman chatted under several usernames, including “badgurl854,” “AlwayzSpnkednkd,” “prettyprncss2388,” “Daddywhospanks N@ked,” and multiple others during the disgusting incidents, which allegedly occurred between June and October 2024.
“The user further claimed that ‘he’ would have an@l s£x with the children and would punish the children by getting n@ked, stripping the children n@ked, and spanking them while the other children watched,” the criminal complaint stated.
Hoberman, still posing as a man, also uploaded two videos showing child s£x abuse, which she claimed were her children, prosecutors said.
She even invited one sicko to visit “his” family in New York to spank and s£xually abuse the fictional kids.
Authorities zeroed in on Hoberman after they received several tips about the abuse from Kik.
They found child s£xual abuse content in a hidden folder on her phone, and she admitted to sharing child pornography on other messaging apps.
She admitted to federal agents that she “has a preference for children from infancy to age three, and that she prefers violent depictions of the children in child pornography,” according to the complaint.
Hoberman faces up to 20 years in prison.
