Carmita O’Bryant: Oklahoma Mom Accused Of Arranging For Man To Rape Her Five-Month-Old Baby In Exchange For Meth
Carmita O’Bryant is in jail in Oklahoma and facing charges that she arranged for a man to rape her five-month-old baby in exchange for meth.
Police arrested the mom this week after they allegedly found Facebook messenger correspondence with a man named James Smith, Canoe.com reported. Investigators said the exchanges included an arrangement for Smith to have sex with O’Bryant’s infant, and Smith allegedly asked O’Bryant to send a naked picture of the baby to see if her offer was legitimate.
“Show me you are serious,” the message read. “Use your dirty mind and send me a pic, and then I can see what I can get you.”
O’Bryant reportedly had a long relationship with Smith and the two have other children together. O’Bryant allegedly complied with Smith’s request, KOCO reported, sending a naked picture of the infant that included images of the girl’s genitals.
It’s not entirely clear the relationship between Carmita O’Bryant and the baby she is accused of prostituting out to James Smith. A report from KFOR refers to the infant as a relative of O’Bryant, but other stories had identified the baby as O’Bryant’s daughter.
When police interviewed Carmita O’Bryant, they found other evidence of abuse, KFOR reported.
“The probable cause affidavit claims that during that interview, O’Bryant told investigators that she had sexually assaulted an 18-month-old boy while Smith ‘would watch’ and ‘masturbate,’ ” the report stated.
The arrest of Carmita O’Bryant made national news, with many commenters wondering how a mother could abuse her own daughter in such a horrific manner. But this is actually not the first case with such disturbing circumstances, and in fact there have been others with strikingly similar accusations.
In 2013, prominent New Hampshire lawyer Lisa Biron was convicted of child pornography for making a video of her 14-year-old daughter having sex with two men on multiple occasions.
The 46-year-old Biron was arrested by the FBI in late 2012 and charged with eight felony counts of child abuse and child pornography, with police saying she made a video of the men having sex with her underage daughter. Biron was also accused raping her daughter and making a cell phone video of the encounter, Salon reported.
To make the case even more bizarre, Biron had a national stature as an anti-gay activist who helped push the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom, a group advocating “for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.”
As Salon noted, the group aimed to squash efforts at legalizing gay marriage.
“The group issues dire warnings about “the homosexual agenda” and offers a book (available for a donation of $35) by its president, Alan Sears, and senior director Craig Osten, with that title. In the book, the authors claim that “the homosexual agenda” will destroy religious liberty and free speech. In one chapter, they claim that homosexuality on college campuses leads to pedophilia, and that homosexuality and pedophilia “are intrinsically linked,” a falsehood long perpetuated by the anti-gay right to demonize LGBT people.”
The group erased all mentions of Biron from its website after her arrest and conviction. The trial was particularly bad for Biron, with evidence that she told her father the young girl had a part in the incident, saying it was “all her fault.”
There were other more recent examples, including a mother and her boyfriend arrested in New Mexico for allegedly injecting a 10-year-old girl with meth before raping and strangling her. Another mother was arrested for allegedly giving her infant daughter a fatal dose of meth.
