Christian erotic author Lauren Ashley Mastrosa wrote child abuse fiction, court finds

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, 34, wrote Daddy's Little Toy under the pen name Tori Woods.

The book is about an 18-year-old woman named Lucy who roleplays as a toddler with an older man.

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

"The defendant has written a book that sexually objectifies children," magistrate Bree Chisholm said.

"The reader is left with a description that creates the visual image in one's mind of an adult male engaging in sexual activity with a young child."

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.
