An erotica author charged with child abuse offences over content in an unreleased book has had a bid to conceal her identity rejected, despite her lawyer arguing “all she has done is written a fictional novel”.
Sydney woman Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa, 33, who works as a marketing executive at a charity and writes under the pen names Lauren Ashley and Tori Woods, has pleaded not guilty to the three charges: one count of producing, one count of possessing, and another of disseminating child abuse material.
