Controversial Verdict: Erotic Author Convicted for Writing Child Abuse Fiction

Share and Follow
The Christian author behind a taboo “daddy dom” novel could face prison time after the book was found to contain child abuse material.

Lauren Ashley Mastrosa, a 34-year-old author, has stirred controversy with her book titled “Daddy’s Little Toy,” published under the pseudonym Tori Woods.

The narrative centers around Lucy, an 18-year-old woman who engages in roleplaying as a toddler with an older man, a premise that has sparked significant backlash.

Mastrosa was charged after the book sparked outrage, and today she was found guilty of three child abuse material charges at a Sydney court.

Magistrate Bree Chisholm expressed her concerns, stating, “The defendant has written a book that sexually objectifies children.” She added that the descriptions within the book paint a disturbing picture of an adult male in sexually explicit scenarios involving a young child.

The book spans 210 pages and features a cover designed in pastel pink, with the title spelled out using children’s alphabet blocks, which adds to the contentious nature of its content.

The 210-page book’s cover is coloured in pink pastel with the title spelled out in children’s alphabet blocks.

The magistrate found Mastrosa, who is from Sydney’s western suburbs, possessed, disseminated and produced child abuse material when writing and marketing her literary work.
Mastrosa issued a pre-release of the novel to 21 advance readers in March before a complaint about its content was made to police.

She was arrested after a search of her home, where officers found 16 hard copies of the offending novel.

The 34-year-old will be sentenced at a later date.
