The girl, he said, proposed imitating a scene from an erotic film she had watched \u2014 she would lie on her back with her hands grasping for the bedposts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the end, several shots positioned her \u201chead on a pillow and her buttocks raised in the air,\u201d and in one, the camera focused on her \u201cbarely covered\u201d genitals. That was the description in court documents, written by federal authorities who charged the photographer and mother with crimes related to child sexual abuse material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"Dropzone-3\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn\" data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe just provided what we knew that men wanted to purchase,\u201d the photographer, Grant Durtschi, said by telephone from a jail outside Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For the past year, The New York Times has been investigating how a drive for online fame has created a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/02\/22\/us\/instagram-child-influencers.html\" title>marketplace on Instagram of girl influencers<\/a> who are managed by their parents \u2014 Instagram does not allow children under 13 to have their own accounts \u2014 and frequently draw an audience of men.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1336jj\">\n<div class=\"css-121kum4\">\n<div class=\"css-171d1bw\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-asuuk5\">\n<div class=\"css-7axq9l\" data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript\">\n<div data-testid=\"optimistic-truncator-noscript-message\" class=\"css-6yo1no\">\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">We are having trouble retrieving the article content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-3kpklk\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\" id=\"optimistic-truncator-a11y\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
