CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — A social worker from Plainview was arrested on charges of child pornography distribution, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace announced.

Renee Hoberman was arraigned on Wednesday afternoon at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, prosecutors said.

"As alleged, Hoberman distributed heinous and disturbing child pornography,
including videos showing infants being restrained and raped. Additionally, while posing as a
man, Hoberman, who is a therapist serving children, claimed to have produced child
pornography and offered others the opportunity to sexually abuse children," Peace said.

As set forth in the complaint, between June 2024 and October 2024, Hoberman
allegedly used social media messaging apps to upload digital videos depicting one or more
minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including several videos of infants six months to
one year of age being physically restrained and raped by an adult male, Peace said.

According to public records and as alleged in the complaint, Hoberman works as
a therapist with an organization based in Melville, and serves children up to the age of 17, prosecutors in the Eastern District said.

Nassau Count Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said: "The hard working and diligent detectives of the Nassau County Police Department will continue to work tirelessly to protect the innocent, and we will never stop fighting to bring those who victimize children to justice."
