CONCORD, N.H. -- The U.S. attorney for New Hampshire says a lawyer charged with exploiting her 14-year-old daughter to produce child pornography is a predator.
John Kacavas said in opening statements at the woman's trial Wednesday she took her daughter to Ontario in May 2012 to videotape her engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
He said she was her child's "pot pusher, her pornography producer and her predator."
The woman, arrested in November, has pleaded not guilty.
Her lawyer, James Moir, told jurors they will find the case shocking, but the issue is whether the government proves each element of the crimes beyond a reasonable doubt.
The woman has not been named to avoid identifying the girl.
