After writing and selling a “dark romance” novel, a self-published author from Quaker’s Hill will appear before a Sydney magistrate on Monday, charged with producing, possessing and disseminating child sexual abuse material. The Daily Telegraph reported police had “received multiple complaints”.
Before New South Wales police arrived at her doorstep, the author, revealed on Booktok as Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa, posted a dismayed apology on her Instagram account, now taken down but reproduced by News.com. It was a “huge misunderstanding”, she wrote. Daddy’s Little Toy (her book’s title) is “FICTIONAL”, she insisted.
