Masha Child Model Free
Onofre Alamillo
In February 2005, Toronto police made an unprecedented move to further the investigation of a child pornography case they had been working on for three years. Hoping to rescue a girl from the ongoing sexual abuse, they took the unusual step to release several of the two hundred images they had in their possession. The photos were altered in such a way that only the scenery was shown, hoping this would lead to new leads in their investigation.
The media was eager to pick up on the story and the photos made the front page of many news paper and televised news programs paid extensive attention to the case. Soon after the release of the photos, the location depicted, in a twist of irony, was identified as Disney World. The victim, not visible in any of the photos presented was immediately labeled "Disney World Girl".
The release of the photos gave the audience a unique glimpse into the forbidden world of child pornography, without actually being tainted by it. The voyeuristic element of the release of the photos in combination with graphic descriptions of what was removed from the photos, made the story of "Disney World Girl" a news media hit.
Several months later, in their quest to rescue "Disney World Girl", Toronto police even upped the ante by releasing an undoctored photo of a girl who presumable was linked to the case and could be a material witness. They hoped taking this risky step, someone would be able to identify the girl in the picture, leading to "Disney World Girl" and her eventual rescue.
Two weeks after the release of the ''material witness" photo, the case was solved. "Disney World Girl" had been found two years earlier and her adoptive father who had abused her for years was already convicted and been in prison.
The media, who had heavily invested in the story still managed to spin the Toronto police's action into a rescue action. It's interesting to note that CBS news, in their news cast of May 16, 2005, called Internet Porn Girl Rescued, only briefly speaks of the anti-climatic aftermath of the investigation, but spends the first half of their air time to the heroic efforts made to rescue "Disney World Girl". No matter the reality of the case it had to follow the singular logic that the damsel in distress was rescued by the knights in shining armor.
Faith Allen grew up in Georgia under the name Kimberly Murphy. She attended Pepperell High School in Lindale, where she graduated in 1996. Two years earlier she had reportedly suffered a heart attack as a result of Anorexia Nervosa.
In 1998 Kimberly Murphy moved to Pennsylvania to admit herself to the Peniel Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a faith-based drug rehab center. Apparently Kimberly Murphy was again suffering from Anorexia Nervosa. Around the time she moved to Pennsylvania, Kimberly Murphy changed her name into Lynn Ginn.
Through the Peniel Center, where she stayed twice, once in 1998 and once in 2001, Lynn Ginn met Cheryl Allen, a black evangelical judge, whose claim to fame was introducing prayer into her courtroom. Judge Cheryl Allen took Lynn Ginn in her home (something Lynn Ginn later denied under oath) and got her counseling through Theotherapy, a faith-based service for which Judge Cheryl Allen served as a board member.
Around the time Cheryl Allen met Lynn Ginn, she had just been defeated in her efforts to seek a seat in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and was ready for a second bid to the office. Lynn Ginn was just the kind of person Cheryl Allen needed to appeal to white constituents in her district.
At Judge Cheryl Allen's recommendation, Lynn Ginn became a foster parent for Families United Network and had several black children placed in her home. Before Masha was placed with Lynn Ginn, two children had already been removed, because of alleged abuse, yet somehow she was considered a suitable candidate to take care of Masha.
On April 27, 2003, an undercover agent with the Illinois police made contact with Matthew Mancuso in a chat room on the Internet, where Mancuso bragged about his collection of child pornography. During the following month information was collected and a federal search warrant was acquired. Exactly one month later, FBI raided the Mancuso house and to their surprise found a 10-year-old girl living with him.
Masha, upon arrival of the FBI, immediately started telling her story, a secret she had kept for more than five years. Later that day she was sent to the Children's Hospital of Pittburg for assessment and consultation, after which the foster care agency, Family United Network, at the direction of Judge Cheryl Allen, placed Masha in the home of Lynn Ginn.
Despite showing a neglect on Lynn Ginn's part to seek proper care for Masha and a profound lack of monitoring the situation by Allegheny County CYFS, nothing was done with the report and on May 14, 2004, less than a year after the arrest of Matthew Mancuso, Masha was formally adopted in the courtroom of Judge Cheryl Allen, who at that time was a criminal court judge. Lynn Ginn, by that time, had again changed her name, this time into Faith Allen, both in reference to her religious beliefs and as a homage to Judge Cheryl Allen.
On the day of the adoption hearing, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette wrote a hagiography of Judge Cheryl Allen under the title A tale of faith, hope and love blesses all, which most certainly was part of the second campaign for a seat in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Already in early 2003, Faith Allen (at the time still called Lynn Ginn), joined Potter's House Ministry, a black church in Braddock, Pennsylvania, and gets one Charles Brown assigned as pastor. Almost a year later, due to her name change, Faith Allen gets another pastor assigned, but keeps seeing Charles Brown, who counsels her in her own home.
Only two weeks after the adoption, Faith Allen suspects Charles Brown to fondle and sexually touch her while being under "hypnosis" and starts video taping the counseling session, but waits until September of that year to file charges. The Pennsylvania District Attorney's office is eager to pick up the case (while a much more important case, that of the abuse of Masha by Matthew Mancuso is still on hold at the same DA's office). So in December 2004, only three months after the filing of the charges, the first hearing in the case against Charles Brown takes place.
A. The sessions usually were in my living room, and I was out asleep again, and I just remember waking up in my bedroom the next morning, and he was there, but I can't say that he was there all night. I don't know.
In this statement Faith Allen said, the morning after the "hypnosis" session she woke up with Charles Brown being in her bedroom. A man, whom she suspected of sexual assault. Charles Brown could or could not have been there all night, nevertheless he was there when Faith woke up. So if all Faith Allen said is true, she was incapacitated, while a man she viewed as a sexual predator was roaming the same house that was supposed to be the designated safe haven for Masha.
Late June 2005, attorney James R Marsh was retained "to uncover the truth about Masha's government-approved international adoption by Matthew Mancuso". Immediately all media contacts were stopped for another six months.
Maureen Flatley, a lobbyist and child advocate joined the team and made contact with Sen. John Kerry (D-Ma.) and Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), who upon learning about Masha's story decided to promote a law that allowed for civil penalties for people downloading child pornography and allowed for compensating the victims portrayed. This would later become Masha's Law.
Maureen Flatley also introduced the big news networks to the case of Masha, leading to an appearance on ABC Primetime on December 1, 2005, later followed by appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show and on CNN's Nancy Grace.
Meanwhile things were not going well for Masha and in March 2006 she attempted to kill herself. By that time she has moved several times, never been at one place for more than 6 months and she still hadn't received the mental health care required. Instead she was being counseled by unlicensed evangelical quacks. All help was being refused unless it was faith-based.
Yet on May 2006, Masha appeared before Congress to testify in a hearing related to the exploitation of children on the Internet. It's interesting to notice that the hearing itself was not about the adoption of Masha, but about her exploitation. Still when members of congress learned about the negligence of the adoption agencies involved, they decided to use their power to subpoena to force Families Thru International Adoptions, Reaching out Thru International Adoption and Adagio Health to release the paper work related to Masha's adoption.
In 1997, Jeannene Smith was working as an independent contractor for Families Thru International Adoption (FTIA) in the state of New Jersey. In that capacity she received a request for adoption from Matthew Mancuso. At the time relations between Jeannene Smith and FTIA were deteriorating and Jeannene Smith created her own agency, Reaching out Thru International Adoption (ROTIA), which finalized Masha Allen's adoption after Mancuso's request was transferred from FTIA to ROTIA.
During the congressional hearings Sexual exploitation of children over the internet: follow-up issues to the Masha Allen adoption before the subcommittee on oversight and investigations of the committee on energy and commerce house of representatives, Keith Wallace, Chief Executive Officer of FTIA, made the following testimony with regards to Jeannene Smith and her relations with FTIA:
Jeannene Smith was questioned before the same committee, but that day she suddenly suffered from temporary partial amnesia, so unfortunately she was not able to give any details about the case. Here are some of the answers she gave:
Her evasive responses and complete lack of accepting responsibility didn't go unnoticed. Congressman Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.) made the following statement, which blasted Jeannene Smith's conduct in the Masha Allen case:
