KIMPER, Ky. — A Pike County woman has been charged with producing child pornography.

It all began with a child porn investigation in Missouri, where a Park Hills man was arrested for possessing and promoting child porn and sexual exploitation of a minor. The man told police he had received sexually-explicit videos from a Kentucky woman and her daughter, who he believed to be 18.

Police found the videos, as well as the emails which contained them. That allowed them to trace the videos back to Pamela Denise Chapman Sargent, 43, of Kimper.

Court records describe two of the videos, which allegedly show Sargent engaging in sexual acts with two children, believed to be between the ages of 3 and 5.

Sargent has initially been charged in federal court with a single count of producing child pornography. She was arrested on Wednesday and is currently being held in the Pike County Detention Center.
