The search warrant yielded additional images and videos of child pornography. Initially, Lachman claimed she was unaware the videos contained children, but authorities say one of the recovered videos depicted the sexual assault of an infant.
Additionally, investigators say they discovered graphic and disturbing chats between Lachman and multiple men, in which she allegedly expressed a desire to watch and assist in the abuse of children.
Court records show that Lachman is currently charged with one count of possession of child pornography. However, investigators have referred seven additional charges to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office for consideration.
