Australian Author Charged Over Book Alleged to Contain Child Abuse Material

Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa, writing as Tori Woods, faces legal charges and public backlash over her novel 'Daddy's Little Toy,' which has been removed from major platforms.

Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa, a Sydney-based author, was arrested on March 21 and charged with producing, possessing, and disseminating child abuse material linked to her novel 'Daddy's Little Toy.'
The book, accused of including graphic fictional content involving pedophilic themes, has been removed from Amazon and Goodreads following public complaints and police investigation.
Tesolin-Mastrosa has denied promoting or inciting child sexual abuse, calling the backlash a 'big misunderstanding' and expressing distress over the accusations.
The author has faced professional fallout, including her removal from BaptistCare, where she worked as a marketing executive, after complaints were lodged about her involvement with the book.
Collaborators such as cover designer Georgia Stove have publicly distanced themselves from Tesolin-Mastrosa, citing unawareness of the book's controversial content.
