Woman charged with aiding and abetting the sexual exploitation of a toddler and pleaded insanity

Morningstar is charged locally with seven counts of facilitating sexual conduct of a minor (a second-degree felony) and two counts of endangering a child (a misdemeanor, a felony).

Wright is charged locally with seven counts of sexual solicitation of a minor and one count of child endangerment. He has also been charged federally with five counts of sexual exploitation of children.

According to the federal indictment, Wright sexually exploited a two-year-old victim on at least five occasions in January 2024 and shared this explicit conduct on social media.

On May 20, Morningstar pleaded insanity and Judge Michael Oster Jr. ordered a forensic examination.

Defense attorney Gerald Wirsch wrote: “The defendant informed her attorney about events that may have influenced her mental state at the time of the alleged crime.”

Morningstar is scheduled to return to court for a valuation hearing on June 24.

Wright also appeared in District Court on May 20 and his case was adjourned until next month.

They remain housed in the Butler County Jail.

Middletown police began investigating the couple after receiving a complaint from a woman who said she watched a Snapchat video of a couple she knew having sex and that the video featured a naked toddler, court records show.

Both Wright and Morningstar were arrested at the time and their cases were referred to a grand jury in February.

Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Lindsay Sheehan said, “There is a living child that we can identify. She is a toddler. She is involved in the performance but is not sexually abused.”

Sheehan said the videos are part of the investigation.

“She herself is never sexually abused, but she is involved in the depiction of Tiffany and Daveion having sexual intercourse,” Sheehan said.

She added that the toddler was partially naked and was a central point of the video.

While there are multiple charges because Wright allegedly recorded the action and created multiple videos of it, they were of the same interaction, she said.

“It’s a shock to the conscience when you see this,” Sheehan said.
